Table 3 presents the results of multivariate analyses of the association between individual and familial sociodemographic characteristics on classes of lifetime mental disorders in the adolescents. Mood and anxiety disorders were more prevalent among females in these multivariate analyses, whereas males had higher rates of behavior and substance use disorders. Rates of mood and substance use disorders were higher among older adolescents. There were few racial/ethnic differences in the major classes of mental disorders, with the exception of increased rates of anxiety disorders and lower rates of substance use disorder among non-Hispanic Black adolescents compared to non-Hispanic White adolescents, and higher rates of mood disorders among Hispanic adolescents compared to non-Hispanic Whites.
