Adjusted odds ratios (95% Confidence Interval): the association of the membership in the joint trajectories of cigarette smoking and depressive symptoms with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) among African American and Puerto Rican adults (N=674)

Comparisons of membership in each of the joint trajectory groups	GAD at T5
¹High cigarette smoking and high depressive symptoms vs. No cigarette smoking and low depressive symptoms	11.2 (4.6, 27.0)^***
²Intermediate cigarette smoking and low depressive symptoms vs. No cigarette smoking and low depressive symptoms	1.7 (0.8, 3.7)
³Low cigarette smoking and high depressive symptoms vs. No cigarette smoking and low depressive symptoms	5.8 (2.7, 12.5)^***
⁴High cigarette smoking and high depressive symptoms vs. Intermediate cigarette smoking and low depressive symptoms	5.7 (2.4, 13.7)^***
⁵Low cigarette smoking and high depressive symptoms vs. Intermediate cigarette smoking and low depressive symptoms	3.8 (1.7, 8.8)^***
⁶High cigarette smoking and high depressive symptoms vs. Low cigarette smoking and high depressive symptoms	2.1 (1.0, 4.7)^*

Gender, ethnicity, anxiety symptoms at T3, age at T5, socioeconomic status at T5, and physical disease at T5 were statistically controlled.

In models 1, 2, and 3, female gender and higher anxiety symptoms at T3 were associated with GAD (p<.05).

In model 4, higher anxiety symptoms at T3 were associated with GAD (p<.05).

In model 5, none of the other predictors was associated with GAD.

In model 6, female gender and lower socioeconomic status at T5 were associated with GAD (p<.05).
