Maternal DSM-IV depression and antisocial symptoms were based on data collected from the SSAGA interview. Maternal antisocial symptoms were based on responses to a screen during the interview which queried behavior indicative of consistent irresponsibility (e.g., frequently quitting jobs, failing to pay debts or take care of financial responsibilities), irritability or aggressiveness (i.e., physically attacking anyone, including family members), and disregard for the safety of others (i.e., 4 or more traffic tickets for moving violations), and failure to conform to social norms (i.e., arrests other than for drunk driving or drunken behavior). There was no evidence of an increasing association between latent class and greater number of maternal antisocial behaviors. Therefore maternal antisocial behaviors were modeled as none vs. any symptoms.
