Note. The results are from a multinomial logistic regression analysis. Confidence intervals containing 1.00 are not significant, p < .05. For delay discounting, a unit is one standard deviation (SD=1.41). Female (1=Male, 2=Female); Non-white (0=white, 1=non-white); Alcohol use (30-day alcohol use, 1=0 days to 7=20 or more days); Marijuana use (30-day marijuana use, 1=0 times to 6=40 or more times); Household smoking (1=at least one household member smokes, 0=nobody living at home smokes); Academic performance (1=Mostly D’s and F’s to 4=Mostly A’s).
