Notes: Data presented are from Step 3 of the hierarchical regression models conducted with each dependent variable. Unstandardized beta (SE). Onset = Whether or not adolescents reported any use or impairment by 9th grade (0=no, 1=yes); Family History = Parent-rated history of substance use across 1st and 2nd degree relatives (yes/no); Dep-Par = Parent-reported DISC depression symptom count from 6th grade; Gender (0=Female, 1=Male); CU-Par = Parent-reported APSD Callous-Unemotional scale administered in 6th grade; CD-Par = Parent-reported DISC Conduct Disorder symptom count from 6th grade. Age, depression, CU and CD were centered across gender. All interactions were computed using centered variables.
