a
High depressive symptomatology was based on scoring at or above the proportionately adjusted depression cutpoint on the modified Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale (range 0–27). The cutpoints are 10 for males and 11 for females.
b
Sexual debut prior to age sixteen was classified as early, debut between ages 16 and 18 was classified as typical, debut after age 18 (including those who did not debut by Wave III interview) was classified as late.
c
For multi-category predictor variables, p-values refer to joint tests of statistical significance
