a
SF-12 physical pain subscale.
b
Unweighted sample size.
c
Population estimate based on weighted estimates to U.S. population aged 18 or older, rounded to nearest thousand (2000 Census). Estimates do not sum to total due to rounding
d
Estimates (%=percent, SE=standard error) based on weighted sample and calculated within each row. Design adjustments performed using SUDAAN (release 9.2).
e
Non-disordered non-medical use defined as use in the past year without DSM-IV past year opioid abuse or dependence.
f
Disordered non-medical use defined as DSM-IV abuse or dependence in the past year among past year users.
