Reduction in coefficients for friends' parenting on Grade 10 substance use as a result of controlling for level of Grade 9 friendship-group substance use

10th-grade substance use outcome
Variable Alcohol use
Drunkenness
Cigarette use
Marijuana use
M1 M2 % M1 M2 % M1 M2 % M1 M2 %
Grade 9 friend use −0.67*** 1.00*** 0.54*** 0.66***
Parent: Group level

 Inductive 0.06 0.03 50% 0.25§ 0.20 20% 0.16 0.21 −31% 0.22 0.24 −9%
 Inconsistent 0.27* 0.12 55% 0.28§ 0.09 67% 0.60*** 0.40* 33% 0.62*** 0.53*** 14%

Notes: Values refer to logistic regression coefficients predicting 10th-grade substance use. M1 = series of models that include effects of group-level parenting (with covariates, not shown); M2 = series of models that include additional control for aggregate levels of ninth-grade friendship group's substance use; % = percentage reduction in the logistic regression coefficient of the group-level parenting behavior between M1 and M2. Knowledge, inductive, and inconsistent refer to group-level effect of parental knowledge, inductive reasoning, and inconsistent discipline, respectively.
