| Time 1 restrict status | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Behavior at each time point | Yes (9.8%) | No (90.2%) | OR (CI) |

| Laxative | 7.0 | 1.6 | 4.54* (2.31–8.93) |
| Time 2 | |||
| Binge | 21.3 | 7.5 | 3.33* (2.19–5.07) |
| Purge | 10.7 | 2.6 | 4.46* (2.50–7.95) |

| Binge | 13.5 | 7.8 | 1.83 (1.11–3.01) |
| Purge | 7.1 | 2.1 | 3.53* (1.78–6.96) |
| Diuretic drugs | 1.2 | 0.8 | 1.60 (0.36–7.22) |
| Laxative | 4.2 | 1.3 | 3.38 (1.41–8.13) |
| Restrict | 23.2 | 6.0 | 4.73* (3.13–7.16) |
Note. OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval.
N = 1906. “Yes” and “No” refer to the percentage of participants who reported restricting at Time 1. All numbers in the first two columns are percentages that reflect the portion of participants that demonstrate each respective behavior. For example, of the children who did report restricting at Time 1, 32.8% reported binge eating at Time 1. ORs are results from binary logistic regression analysis; each Time 1 behavior corrected for other Time 1 behaviors.
*p < .0007, the Bonferroni-corrected significance level needed to correct for multiple comparisons. We used a 95% significance level for CIs; they can be used to ascertain significance at the more liberal p < .05.
