Note.

All analyses adjusted for sex, grade, race/ethnicity and family income.

a

Measured on a 1–4 scale from “not at all harmful” to “definitely harmful.” Responses were collapsed into 2 categories: “Not at all” harmful versus “some” harm

b

Measured on a 1–3 scale from “not at all addictive” to “very addictive.” Responses were collapsed into 2 categories: “Not at all” addictive versus “some” addictiveness.

c

Adjusted proportions were calculated post-estimation. Regression coefficients are available on request. Proportions in cells sharing a letter are not significantly different at the 5% level; p-value adjusted with Bonferroni correction

d

Effect sizes are classified as small (d=0.20), medium (d=0.50) and large (d≥0.80)
