Note

^1.

Each analysis was controlled for gender and ethnicity. The outcomes in the substance use domain had an additional control variable of marijuana or other illegal drug use at T2. Peer marijuana use and peer other illegal drug use at T4 also had an additional control variable of peer marijuana use or peer other illegal drug use at T2, respectively.

The number of participants in the high persistent group=18, moderate persistent group=90, decreasing group=34, no/low group=696.

We used T4 (mean age of 29) as the sampling base. Among T4 participants (N=838), there are 838 participants who participated in the longitudinal study at least twice from 1990 (T1) onwards. Among T4 participants, 71% participated in at least 3 points.
