Note. ARR = adjusted risk ratio; CI = confidence interval; CTC = Communities That Care; LSD = lysergic acid diethylamide; MDMA = ecstasy.

a

Population average results from generalized linear mixed Poisson regression analyses of those who had not initiated the outcome at baseline. Baseline noninitiators ranged from n = 3157 for any drug use to n = 4383 for marijuana. Regression models adjusted for individual (gender, race/ethnicity, parental education, baseline rebelliousness, baseline attendance at religious services) and community characteristics (baseline school district enrollment, percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price school lunch).

b

Percentages reflect the proportion of the sample who never reported the behavior in any data collection wave between grade 5 baseline and age 21 years.

c

Percentages reflect the proportion of the sample who reported using the substance or engaging in the behavior in at least 1 wave between grade 5 baseline and age 21 years.
