Autoregressive, cross-lagged path model examining prospective relations among depressive (DEP) and conduct disorder (CD) symptoms and alcohol use (ALC) in early adolescence. Notes: Bold lines indicate paths of interest. Within-time correlations between depressive symptoms, conduct problems, and alcohol use at Grade 6, as well as within-time correlations between the residuals of the variables at Grades 7–9, were included in the model. They are omitted from figure for sake of parsimony.
