Significant at the .05 level, two-sided test.

Models were estimated in a Poisson regression framework with one adversity and controls used to predict number of days out of role associated with the outcome disorders.

Model controlling for age of onset, time since onset, age category, sex, race, diagnosis category, comorbid conditions, type of adversity, # of Maladaptive Family Functioning adversities, and # of Other adversities

Disruptive behavior disorders are restricted to those <= 44 years of age at interview
