Notes:
ADHD AOR is the adjusted odds ratio comparing the odds of use among persons ever diagnosed with ADHD to the odds of use among persons never diagnosed with ADHD derived from models that include control variables. Models control for: Sex; Age; Race/Ethnicity; Nativity; Education; and Urban-Rural Continuum.
