The model above was estimated using gender as a control variable and controlling for the covariance between independent variables, which were not depicted to ease in interpretation. It summarizes the general gateway model designed to identify nonspecific risk factors of illicit appearance and performance enhancing drugs (APED) use. The dotted lines represent paths that were deleted in the final model. Illicit APED use is a dichotomous variable and the coefficient reported predicting this dependent variable are logit parameters, and all parameters are unstandardized.
