Parental drug dependence was associated with increased odds that the adolescent would have an externalizing disorder (odds ratio = 4.17, q < 0.001). The presence of a depressive disorder in the mother, but not the father increased the risk that the adolescent offspring would have an internalizing disorder (odds ratio = 1.87, q = 0.079) though this was only a trend (See Table 4).
