A multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to test for the association between consistency in reporting age at first alcohol use and frequency of HED during the period of heaviest alcohol use (adjusting for lag time between Time 1 and Time 2 reports). Statistically significant covariates identified in individual multinomial regression analyses (ethnicity, CSA, CPAN, major depressive disorder, regular smoking, and cannabis abuse) were then added to the model to adjust for the potential effects of these risk factors on the association between consistency in report and HED.
