Note. All values are means and standard deviations unless otherwise noted. P-values are based on ANOVA main effects and interactions for continuous variables and on logistic regression main effects or interactions for categorical variables, where
< 0.05,
< 0.01,
< 0.001. As for the SCID diagnoses, significance and effect sizes could not be estimated due to most diagnoses being specific to only some of the groups (i.e., quasi-complete separation issues in logistic models). Effect sizes (ES) are Cohen’s d for continuous variables and odds ratios for categorical variables CON healthy controls, MJ marijuana users without lifetime MDD, MDD non-users with lifetime MDD, MDD+MJ MJ users with lifetime MDD, FSIQ(WTAR) full-scale IQ, as estimated by the Wechsler Test of Adult Reading, AUDIT Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test, TLFB time-line follow-back, MASQ Mood and Anxiety Symptom Questionnaire
MASQ was completed by 32 CON and 21 MJ because the questionnaire was introduced later in the study protocol
