Text

Results of regression analyses are presented in Figure 2 and Table 3 for maternal maximum consumption and dependence, respectively, both by themselves and net any effects of the other measure. Because interactions between offspring gender and either maternal maximum drinks or alcohol dependence were not significant, and effects for males and females were typically quite similar, these are for male and female adolescents combined. The exception is for ODD: there was a significant interaction between maternal maximum drinks and offspring gender for this outcome in the older age cohort, χ2 = 4.41 with 1 df, p = .036, with the association between the two being significant only for females. In Figure 2 the OR for ODD is for females only; for males, it was effectively 1, indicating no association. For this outcome measure, we included an interaction term between offspring gender and maximum drinks when testing for effects of maternal alcohol dependence.
