All reported indirect effects are standardized. BI = Age 8 Behavioral Inhibition; DEP9 = Age 9 Depressive Symptoms; DEP10 = Age 10 Depressive Symptoms; DEP12 = Age 12 Depressive Symptoms; INT10 = Age 10 Interpersonal Skills, OPP12 = Age 12 Opportunities for Substance Use; PSU12 = Age 12 Peer Support of Substance Use; SU = Adolescent Substance Use Frequency at either Age 13 (in the Mother-Reported Substance Use at Age 13 Model) or Age 14 (in the Self-Reported Adolescent Substance Use at Age 14 Model).
