bAll estimates obtained by averaging across the imputed datasets.

cOdds ratios from multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for background factors: sex, nonmetropolitan school location, low parental education, parental divorce/separation by wave 6.

dOdds ratios from multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for background factors and, at 29 years, substance use: high-risk alcohol use in the past week and other illicit substance use (any of amphetamine, cocaine, or ecstasy use in the past year).

eOdds ratios from multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for background factors, other concurrent substance use, and any adolescent anxiety and depression symptoms measured using the revised Clinical Interview Schedule (CIS-R) (waves 2 to 6).
