Table 3.

Estimated odds ratios (OR) of marijuana class membership, in relation to early aggressive/disruptive behavior and suspected middle-school influences based on a longitudinal multinomial latent class regression model.

Variables Marijuana Exposure Opportunity (Class 2) vs Little or No Involvement (Class 1) Marijuana Use and Problems (Class 3) vs Little or No Involvement (Class 1)

Model 1: association of early aggressive/disruptive behavior, parent monitoring, deviant peer affiliation, and neighborhood disadvantage with marijuana class membership estimated separately, with adjustment for grade; Model 2: association of early aggressive/disruptive behavior, parent monitoring, deviant peer affiliation, and neighborhood disadvantage with marijuana class membership estimated simultaneously, with adjustment for grade, gender, subsidized-lunch status and intervention group.
