  1. astratified analyses were only conducted in case of significant interaction terms between parent and peer influences; b all models are adjusted for sex, age and country; Bold – significant at p < 0.05 for associations, p < 0.1 for interaction terms; cn.c – not calculated (due to very small group(s)); dref – reference category; ethe parental modelling categories ‘never – not often’ and ‘sometimes’ were merged; fthe parental modelling categories ‘sometimes’ and ‘often-always’ were merged.
