Note. OR = odds ratio; IRR = incident rate ratio; CI = confidence interval. In this zero-inflated Poisson regression, the inflation portion of the model is a logistic regression predicting a latent subpopulation of individuals who are unable to assume AUD symptom scores besides zero (e.g., abstainers). The count portion of the model is a Poisson regression predicting the number of AUD symptoms accrued by the latent subpopulation of individuals who could assume AUD symptom scores of zero and above (e.g., regular drinkers).
