(a) The association between membership in the SB group and less alcohol use in the past 30 days in emerging adulthood (T6) is mediated by social adjustment in early adolescence (T3). (b) The association between membership in the SB group and less alcohol use in the past 30 days in emerging adulthood (T6) is mediated by social adjustment in middle to late adolescence (T4/5). (c) The association between membership in the SB group and fewer sexual partners in emerging adulthood (T6) is mediated by social adjustment in early adolescence (T3). Note: Path coefficients outside parentheses are estimates of the total effect of group status on the outcome, and direct effects between group status to the mediator (social adjustment) and the mediator and the outcome. Coefficients inside parentheses are results that include the mediator variable with a direct effect on the criterion. Estimated indirect effects and confidence intervals are results from bootstrap analyses. Mediation analyses controlled for SES and verbal IQ. * p < .05.
