Note: Correlations presented are Pearson correlations (phi coefficients for dichotomous variables—sex, early regular smoking, and early marijuana use). Sample sizes for calculating correlations ranged from 2793 – 3005 twins, depending on data missingness. AUD = alcohol use disorder, CD = conduct disorder, M = mean, SD = standard deviation. For the variable of sex, females were coded ‘1’, while males were coded ‘0’. Bold indicates significance (p < 0.05).
