1

Expressed as means (± standard deviations) for all measures except gender, handedness, lifetime rates of mood disorders and lifetime rates of substance abuse disorders, which are expressed as frequencies with percentages in parentheses.

2

Group n’s based on the full sample of 1495 subjects. Group n’s vary slightly for demographic variables with fewer total observations, as listed in Table

3

Unequal variances between groups based on Levine’s test; post-hoc tests based on Tamhanes.

4

One-way ANOVAs for continuous variables; Gender, Handedness, Mood Disorders and Substance Abuse Disorders are Chi-Square.

5

Age and education comparisons showed unequal variances; post-hoc tests are based on Tamhanes. All other group comparisons were least square means.

6

Parent Education is based on the mean of both parents’ highest educational level when both are available; otherwise, it is based on the one for whom information is available.
