Table 3. Associations between cannabis initiation polygenic scores and cannabis use trajectories.

The most significant PRS is reported, which was defined with a p-value threshold of pT < 0.1 (see Table 2 for results for all thresholds). Results in bold are significant predictors in the model after multiple testing corrections (α < 0.0019).
