Table 6.
Odds ratios (95% CI, p-value) for binary alcohol outcomes, and standardized parameter estimates (95% CI, p-value) for the continuous outcome (number of drinks), as a function of individual SDQ items. All estimates are adjusted for the effects of covariates (sex, income, and maternal depression).
| SDQ Item | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alcohol Outcome | Often unhappy, depressed, or tearful |
Many worries or often seems worried |
Many fears, easily scared |
Nervous or clingy in new situations, easily loses confidence |
Complains of headaches, stomach-aches, or sickness |
| Ever binged1 | 1.24 (1.08 – 1.42, p<0.01) | .83 (.72 – .96, p=0.01) | .81 (.71 – .94, p<0.01) | .73 (.64 – .83, p<0.01) | 1.11 (.98 – 1.27, p=0.11) |
| Had whole drink in past 6 months1 | 1.03 (.92 – 1.15, p=0.65) | 1.01 (.90 – 1.13, p=0.86) | .85 (.75 – .95, p<0.01) | .74 (.66 – .82, p<0.01) | 1.07 (.96 – 1.19, p=0.22) |
| Drank without parental permission in past 6 months1 | 1.08 (.95 – 1.23, p=0.25) | 1.00 (.88 – 1.14, p=0.99) | .84 (.74 – .95, p<0.01) | .78 (.69 – .89, p<0.01) | 1.09 (.96 – 1.23, p<0.19) |
| Number of whole drinks in past 6 months2 | .14 (−.09 – .38, p=0.23) | − .17 (−.43 – .09, p=0.21) | .04 (− .23 – .31, p<0.78) | − .40 (− .66 – −.15, p<0.01) | .22 (− .03 – .47, p=0.08) |
