HRs were estimated by Cox proportional hazards survival analysis, with adjustment for age, education, race/ethnicity, family income, smoking status, past year binge drinking status (≥ 5 drinks/occasion), lifetime crack or cocaine use, body mass index, and self-rated and physician-rated health at interview.
