Note. C = control variable; DV = dependent variable; M = mediator variable; X = independent variable; Z = moderator variable; MZ = interaction between mediator and moderator variable; XZ = interaction between independent and moderator variable.
All models controlled for attrition propensity score and school.
Thirty-day smoking represents the number of smokers who indicated they smoked in the past thirty days within the indicated wave (1 = yes and 0 = no).
Perceived friend prevalence represents the number of friends they believe smoked in the past thirty days (0 = none to 12 = 12 friends or more).
