The three colors signify different levels of statistical significance. Yellow cells denote. P-values of <0.01; gray denotes. P-values that are. <0.05 but > 0.01; and white cells signify P-values that do not reach the 0.05 level of significance;

**For the three-level drinking variable, only. P-values are provided, but odds ratios and associated. P-values are presented for the two contrasts of drinking levels.

Note: The odds ratios for driving confidence is the change in the odds, expressed as a ratio, corresponding to a change in driving confidence of 5 units (driving confidence was measured on a scale of 0 to 10); the odds ratios for age is the change in the odds corresponding to a change in age of 10 years.
