Hence, apart
from the two above associations which were somewhat stronger for females than for males, the paths to APP in young adulthood
from disruptive behavior
problems in early childhood and internalizing
problems as well as
substance use in adolescence were the same for boys and girls.
Hence, given that the paths to APP
from internalizing
problems and
substance use were not significant, and also because it was the more parsimonious model, we chose Model 4 as the final path model.
Being based on the recognition that
substance use and related individual and family
problems derive
from many sources of influence and occur in the context of intra -, inter - and extra-personal systems
Therefore we tested an alternative model (i.e., Model 5) which was as Model 1 but included also paths to APP in young adulthood
from depression symptoms, somatic
problems, and
substance use in adolescence.
We then proceeded to examine whether co-occurring affective
problems and
substance use in adolescence added to the prediction of APP in young adulthood
from conduct
problems in adolescence.
We also compared this model to an alternative model including direct paths to APP
from internalizing
problems and
substance use in adolescence.
