Notes: Coefficients in bold are significant at p < .05; coefficients in italics are marginally significant at p < .10.

a

Early alcohol use (ages 10–11), behavioral disinhibition (age 14), and gender were included in the models as covariates;

b

early alcohol use (ages 10–11), behavioral disinhibition (age 14), gender, and the corresponding age 21 problem alcohol involvement (e.g., for the model predicting HED at age 33, HED at age 21 was added as a covariate) were included in the models as covariates.
