CD, Conduct disorder.

Latent classes estimated on the basis of reported symptoms at age 15 or earlier. Respondents assigned to the latent class according to posterior probability of class membership. Odds ratios were estimated in binary logistic regression models with latent class as a categorical predictor and statistical control for age and sex. Models for past-year events also included statistical control for educational attainment
