Note. DI = Dysregulation Inventory. DUSI = Drug Use Screening Inventory (number of uses in the past year). ABS = Absolute Problem Density Profile. Y-DMC = Youth Decision Making Competence Measure. YASR = Young Adult Self-Report. ASPD = Antisocial Personality Disorder. M(SD) = Means and standard deviations for the criterion variables in all available cases. n = valid cases for the analyses involving the MPQ-triarchic scales. OR = Odd Ratio.
B coefficients based on logistic regression analyses are reported for Alcohol and Marijuana use (Y/N), with corresponding Nagelkerke’s R2 (R2N). The full correlation matrices across all time points are reported in the online Supplemental Materials.
