Text

Because DSM-III-R criteria ND is weakly correlated with FTND it is possible that our results have underestimated the genetic contribution from paternal ND to offspring ND and overestimated the environmental contribution to offspring ND. Since offspring who smoke are more likely to perceive peers smoke it is possible that we overestimate the environmental contribution from peer smoking to offspring smoking.
