Results for the conditional (snares) model of the contemporaneous effects of heavy alcohol use on physical dating aggression across grades 8 through 12

Parameter	B (se)
Intercept	0.23 (0.03)^***
Grade	0.04 (0.03)
Grade^*Grade	−0.01 (0.01)
Heavy alcohol use	0.13 (0.03)^***
Heavy alcohol use^*grade	−0.03 (0.01)^*
Heavy alcohol use^*semester	0.08 (0.03)^**

Random effects for the slope (grade) and quadratic (grade^*grade) factors were constrained to zero. Residual errors were allowed to vary over time and were significant (p<0.001) across all grade levels. The heavy alcohol use measure was time–varying and was person-mean centered. Parameter estimates are from a model that controlled for time-invariant demographic (race, sex and parent education) and time-varying psychosocial (family conflict, emotional distress, social bonding, and peer aggression) covariates
