Note.

a

The analysis is analogous to a multinomial logistic regression, with the four-category latent class membership as the outcome variable. Due to missing data on the covariate variables, 230 adolescents (3.0%) were excluded in the analysis of Model 1 and 265 adolescents (3.5%) were excluded in the analysis of Model 2.

b

The purpose of Model 1 was to examine socio-demographic differences, whereas the main purpose of Model 2 was to examine the influence of peer affiliation with socio-demographic variables as covariates.

c

Class 1 (the noninvolved) was the referent for the latent class membership.
