Note: Odds ratios in boldface type are significantly different from 1.0 with P < .05. SUD = substance use disorder.

a

Prevalence estimates and odds ratios are weighted to adjust for sampling design and to reflect the demographic characteristics of the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center. Four participants who identified as "other" race/ethnicity and 3 participants who never completed the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children (DISC) (baseline interview) or the Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS) (follow-up interviews) are excluded from the table.

b

Odds ratios comparing Classes 1, 2, and 3 were estimated within our growth mixture model to account for uncertainty in assigning participants to the latent classes. Odds ratios comparing the no-SUD group to all classes were estimated using logistic regression outside the growth mixture model framework.

c

The reference group is females.

d

The reference group is African Americans. Odds ratios (95% CI) for Hispanics compared with non-Hispanic whites are as follows: Class 3 vs. Class 1, 1.9 (0.7–5.1); Class 3 vs. Class 2, 1.6 (0.7–3.5); Class 2 vs. Class 1, 1.2 (0.3–4.4); and no SUD vs. all others, 1.6 (0.9–2.6).

e

Odds ratios (95% CI) are given per every year. For example, the odds ratio of 2.1 means that compared with a participant who is 14 years at baseline, a participant who is 15 years has 2.1 times the odds of being in Class 3 compared with Class 1.
