All analyses control for race (i.e., White, Black, Hispanic, Other race), sex (i.e., Male and Female), geographic region (i.e., Northeast, Midwest, South and West), metropolitan statistical area (i.e., large MSA, other MSA, and non-MSA), parental education (college degree vs. no college degree) and cohort year at age 18. In addition, all models control for any substance use at baseline (i.e., annual alcohol use at age 18, annual marijuana use at age 18, and annual other drug use at age 18).

Sample sizes vary due to missing data on the dependent measures (i.e., substance use disorder symptoms at age 35).
