IQR, interquartile range; SD, standard deviation.

aData are n (%) unless otherwise noted.

b63 participants had 24 possible visits, 5 participants had 36 possible visits, 1 participant had 33 possible visits, and 1 participant had 25 possible visits (mean = 25 visits).

cWe assumed that during visits the participant did not attend, he would have submitted a urine sample positive for methamphetamine or cocaine metabolites.
