Text

Figure 1 shows a graph of the product-limit survival curves for first drink, where survival corresponds to failure to consume a full drink. The survival curves are presented separately for those experiencing parental separation/divorce and those who did not. The top panel of the graph shows that 21% of adolescents who did not experience parental separation/divorce consumed a full alcoholic drink. The bottom panel of the graph shows that 32% of adolescents who experienced parental separation/divorce consumed a full alcoholic drink. Figure 2 shows the survival curves separately by age of when separation/divorce occurred.
