  • * Risk ratios estimated from Poisson regression models with robust error variance.

  • Model 1: age and gender (N=5166).

  • Model 2: age, gender and social factors (social class, financial difficulties, housing) (N=4485).

  • Model 3: age, gender and family influences (maternal age, maternal education, marital status, parity, maternal smoking, partner smoking, breast feeding, parental monitoring) (N=3491).

  • Model 4: age, gender, social factors and family influences (N=3397).

  • Model 5: age, gender, social factors, family influences and behavioural factors (attention deficit/hyperactive disorder, conduct disorder, anxiety disorder, depression disorder, sensation seeking) (N=3097).

  • Model 6: age, gender, social factors, family influences, behavioural factors and current factors (alcohol use, peer smoking) (N=3090).
