Bivariate discrete time survival models include the following covariates: age, age-squared, age cohort, sex, and person-year.
Multivariate interactive model (includes number of disorders and individual DSM-IV/CIDI disorders together in a discrete time survival model) includes the following covariates: age, age-squared, age cohorts, sex, and person-year.
The group effect χ2 tests the set of coefficients for number of disorders for significance, while the individual χ2 only test presence versus absence of each specific number of disorders.
*: Significant at the 0.05 level, two-sided test.
