Table 2.

List of variables entered into each model: Model 1 initially included Demographic/Family and Youth Behavior, Mood, and Cognition variables. Model 2 initially included all of the variables from Model 1 + Neuropsychological Testing Variables. Model 3 initially included all of the Variables from Models 1 + 2 + Neuroimaging variables [cortical thickness and blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) response during a visual working memory task]. Grayed-out boxes indicate variables that were not selected for the final model. Demographic and neuropsychological variables predicting initiation into alcohol use by age 18 are marked with an X. For neuroimaging data (Model 3), Desikan (39) brain region location is specified using R=right hemisphere, L=left hemisphere, as well as the neuroimaging index CT=cortical thickness and BOLD=BOLD response contrast during a visual working memory task (6-dot supra-span relative to the 2-dot sub-span condition).
