Personality disorders were coded as lifetime disorders with onset at age 18. The variance inflation factor (VIF) was used to assess possible collinearity among the variables included in the multivariable models. For all analyses, individuals were censored at the time of remission if remission occurred before seeking treatment. Results are reported as hazard ratios and adjusted hazard ratios with associated 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Standard errors and 95% CI for all analyses were estimated using SUDAAN to adjust for the complex design of the NESARC.
