These files are Mx programs that test 12 alternative comorbidity models described by Neale and Kendler (1995) by jointly analyzing data from a clinical sample of adolescents treated for antisocial substance problems (202 probands and 272 siblings) and a matched control sample (202 controls matched to the probands and 313 siblings). The programs in these files examine the comorbidity between alcohol dependence and illicit drug dependence.
