Numerous variables have average SMD > 0.2 indicating covariate imbalance.

(Note: HS = High School, HH = Household, CS = Cognitive susceptibility, RTB = Risk taking behavior score, POE = Positive outcome expectation, TAS = Thrill and adventure seeking, DAA = Drug and alcohol seeking behaviors, SD = Social disinhibition score, SSS = Subjective social status. All statistics reported as (mean (sd) unless otherwise noted).
