Note: The prevalence of stimulant, heroin, inhalant, and sedative use disorders was low; and each was not associated with MDMA use status. AOR = adjusted odds ratios; CI = confidence interval.

a

Each separate logistic regression model adjusted for gender, age, race/ethnicity, education, marital status, family income, population density, past-year major depressive episode, past-year anxiety disorder, age of first drug use, and history of polydrug use.

b

Past-month nicotine dependence; all others were past-year abuse of or dependence on that substance.

c

Any drug use disorder included abuse of or dependence on marijuana, cocaine, inhalants, hallucinogens, heroin, stimulants, pain relievers/opioids, sedatives, and tranquilizers.

d

p < 0.05.
