Note. Adjusting for demographics (sex, age and race), Axis I disorders (substance use, unipolar, bipolar, and other anxiety disorders), and all other Axis II disorders. Models with Any Anxiety Disorder as dependent variable did not include anxiety disorders as covariates. GAD = Generalized Anxiety Disorder; AAB = Adult Antisocial Behavior; OCPD = Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder.
