Alcohol Use associated_with AAB

We examined the equivalency of the relationship between alcohol use and antisocial behavior between sexes...

directional relationship between alcohol use and antisocial behavior suggested in this study

Differences in the measurements of alcohol use and antisocial behavior items across time may have affected the relationship between the 2 behaviors observed in this study.

Alcohol use and antisocial behavior were still associated with each other after accounting for preceding alcohol use and antisocial behavior (p = 0.002).

the relationships between the latent factors measured by alcohol use and antisocial behavior items

Factors for alcohol use (ALC) and antisocial behavior (ASB) were measured... cross-lagged paths represent the effects of a preceding factor to another subsequent factor.

We then fit cross-lagged models to examine the directional relationship between the 2 behaviors.
