Empty cells indicate the disorder specified in the row was not included in the model.

a

Bivariate models (each disorder in a separate discrete time survival model) include the following controls: age, age-squared, age cohorts, sex, and person-year.

b

Multivariate additive model (all disorders together in a discrete time survival model) includes the following covariates: age, age-squared, age cohorts, sex, and person-year.

c

Multivariate interactive model (all disorders together in a discrete time survival model controlling for number of disorders as interactions) includes the following covariates: age, age-squared, age cohorts, sex, and person-year.

d

The group effect χ2 tests the set of coefficients for type of disorder for significance, while the individual χ2 only test presence versus absence of each DSM-IV/CIDI disorder.

*: Significant at the 0.05 level, two-sided test.
