Variable FSU Status × Parental History of Alcohol Problems
Lifetime symptom counts Interaction contrasts Current symptom counts Interaction contrasts
Participant disorder
 Alcohol use disorder 0.55* [0.10, 0.99] 0.49 [-0.01, 0.99]
 Nicotine use disorder 0.40 [-0.20, 0.99] 0.45 [-0.34, 1.32]
 Cannabis use disorder 0.48* [0.25, 0.71] 0.41 [-0.03, 0.78]
 Antisocial personality 0.80 [-0.15, 1.45] 0.99 [-0.15, 2.45]
 Major depressive disorder 0.27 [-0.19, 0.73] 0.39 [-0.11, 0.79]
 Posttraumatic stress disorder 1.11* [0.62, 1.61] 1.27* [0.80, 1.96]
Latent dimensions
 Internalizing factor 1.33 [-0.98, 1.82] 1.44 [-0.78, 2.31]
 Externalizing factor 1.13* [1.01, 1.69] 1.27 [-0.03, 1.87]

Notes: Interaction contrast is the difference in the mean differences for FSU and other Israelis (i.e., the contrast of the effect of parental alcohol problems on offspring outcome among Israelis who emigrated from the FSU, compared with Israelis who did not); internalizing factor = latent dimension reflecting internalizing spectrum disorders; externalizing factor = latent dimension reflecting externalizing spectrum disorders; all models adjusted for sex, age, immigration expectancies, and reasons for immigration.
