Mixed model linear regression showing mean values and standard errors1 of substance use and depressive symptoms by family dinner frequency for students attending alternative high schools (n = 139)2.

Family meal
frequency		 Substance use
score
(past year)		 Depressive
symptom
score
Never 8.9 (0.58) 18.7 (0.74)a  
1–5 days/week 8.8 (0.62) 17.4 (0.78)ab
6–7 days/week 7.5 (0.42) 16.3 (0.52)ab

All models adjusted for race/ethnicity, age, SES, gender, and random effect of school. In models with a significant effect for family meals, post hoc analyses were conducted and different superscripts (a/b) denote significantly different mean values (p <.05).
