The first set of analyses from the externalizing consortium (“Externalizing 1.0”) were pre-registered and can be found on the Open Science Framework. These results are now published (Karlsson Linnér et al. (2021). Multivariate analysis of 1.5 million people identifies genetic associations with traits related to self-regulation and addiction. Nat. Neurosci. 24, 1367–1376.).

In a new set of analyses, (“Externalizing 2.0”), we aim to extend our findings from Externalizing 1.0 by boosting power to identify genes involved in a shared liability to externalizing in European ancestry populations by including additional cohorts not available in Externalizing 1.0 and conducting multi-ancestry analyses to identify genes involved in externalizing in other ancestry populations using new statistical genetics methods. These analyses are pre-registered and can be found on the Open Science Framework.
