Notes: 1. The model for initiating smoking (column 1) is restricted to persons who did not smoke in Wave 1.The models for quitting smoking and smoking frequency at Wave 2 (columns 2 and 4) are restricted to persons who smoked in Wave 1. The model for excessive drinking at Wave 2 (column 3) is restricted to persons who drank in Wave 1; 2. Team variance is the variance in the outcome between teams, after adjusting for the covariates. Individual variance is the variance in the outcome within teams, after adjusting for the covariates. These two variances are only meaningful for continuous outcomes, so no corresponding figures are reported for categorical outcomes from initiating smoking to exercise frequency; 3. Standard errors in parentheses.
