a

Multivariate regressions with random intercepts for families, controlling for teen age and sex, maternal and paternal antisocial behavior, family adversity index, prenatal and concurrent secondhand exposure and whether the teen co-resided with mother and/or father. Maternal interaction model controlled for parental responsive engagement and vice versa. Full data from these models are available from the authors.

b

The average estimate is the common variance in disruptive behavior across the four dimensional scores.

c

Dimensional score estimates represent deviations from average estimate of disruptive behavior.
