a ORs are adjusted for covariates age, living situation, children and household income. b MD=as measured by the CIDI 3.0 (present if onset of MD was more than 12 months ago). c Internalizing disorders were mood disorders (major depression, dysthymia, bipolar disorder) and anxiety disorders (panic disorder, agoraphobia, social
phobia, specific phobia, generalized anxiety disorder). d Externalizing disorders were substance use disorders (alcohol/drug abuse and dependence), childhood impulse control disorders (attention deficit
