Odds ratios (95% CI, p-value) for binary alcohol outcomes, and standardized parameter estimate (95% CI) for the continuous outcome (number of drinks), as a function of childhood internalizing trajectory. All estimates are adjusted for the effects of covariates (sex, income, and maternal depression). In each case, the Stable Low trajectory is the reference class.

	Internalizing Trajectory
Alcohol Outcome	Persistently High (N=362)	Low to High (N=631)	Mid-Childhood Increase (N=1048)	High to Low (N=785)	Stable Low (reference) (N=8331)
Ever binged	.94 (.65 – 1.35, p=0.72)	.75 (.58 –.99, p=0.04)	.72 (.57 –.91, p<0.01)	.88 (.68 – 1.15, p=0.36)	1.00
