This table presents a series of mixed effects multivariable regression models in which each row represents the dependent variable with each column representing and independent variable in separate regression models. A random effect was included for state to account for clustering

aRegression full model includes: state medicalization score per 10-point increment; statewide adult use (yes/no [ref]); age per 10-point increment; role (budtender [ref], manager, physician/NP/PA, pharmacist, other); years working in cannabis industry (categorical- <6 months [ref], 6 months-1 year, 1-2 years, >2 years, no response); sales commission (yes/no); Education (categorical)
