Data were obtained from the Johns Hopkins Prevention Research Center cohort, originally recruited from 19 schools in a Mid-Atlantic school system at entry into first grade in 1985–1986 (age 6) and reassessed as young adults in 2000–2002. The analytic sample included all those with complete baseline information who were successfully assessed in young adulthood (mean age 21)
