Significant at the .05 level, two-sided test

1

Pre-matriculation onset disorders were defined as those with onsets at ages 0–17.

2

Post-matriculation onset disorders were defined as those with onsets at ages 18+.

3

Respondents were limited to those in the Part II sample who were 18–22 years old at the time of interview and had not graduated from college.

4

Based on a pooled within-survey logistic regression equation adjusting for between-survey variation in the association of age-sex with student status

5

There were no post-matriculation onsets of these disorders by definition, as the CIDI required onsets before age 8 (ADHD) or 18 (Conduct Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder).

6

Prevalence of post-matriculation onsets was estimated in the subsample of respondents who did not have a pre-matriculation history of the disorder. As a result, the sample size for each calculation varies across disorders from a low of 683 among female students who had no pre-matriculation history of specific phobias to a high of 821 among female students who had no pre-matriculation history of drug dependence, with a median sample size of 810. The sample size for having no pre-matriculation history of any disorder is 558 among female students.

7

Prevalence of post-matriculation onsets was estimated in the subsample of respondents who did not have a pre-matriculation history of the disorder. As a result, the sample size for each calculation varies across disorders from a low of 335 among female attriters who had no pre-matriculation history of specific phobias to a high of 425 among female attriters who had no pre-matriculation history of drug abuse, with a median sample size of 418. The sample size for having no pre-matriculation history of any disorder is 259 among female attriters.
