SAMHSA requires that any description of overall sample sizes based on the restricted-use data files has to be rounded to the nearest 100, which intends to minimize potential disclosure risk.
The estimate is statistically different from the corresponding estimate for those with benzodiazepine use disorders (p<0.05).
Abbreviation: SE= standard error.
