↵* Model 1 was adjusted for sex. Model 2 was additionally adjusted for family hardship (6–13 yr), determined as family functioning and structure (13 yr), hostile-reactive parenting, socioeconomic status and maternal depressive symptoms (8–10 yr). Model 3 was additionally adjusted for mental health (6–13 yr), determined as depressive symptoms (10–13 yr), anxiety symptoms, inattention/hyperactivity symptoms, oppositional/defiant behaviour and physical aggression symptoms. Model 4 was additionally adjusted for victimization perpetration (10–13 yr).
