The two major column groupings contain estimates by each dependent variable, which were tested in separate models. Models adjusted for race/ethnicity, age, income, education, marital status, and closeness to persons with alcohol problems. Italicized p-values are statistically significant at p <0.05. Presently, standardized estimates are not available for latent variable interaction models in Mplus.
