Comparisons #1 through #5 were obtained by running a single multilogistic model twice, each time applying a different reference group. For comparisons #1, #2, and #4, the reference group was control drivers with a BAC=.00. For comparisons #3 and #5, the reference group included crash drivers with a BAC≥.05. In comparison #1, no crash is involved; therefore, crash severity (“Some Injury” and “PDO”) is that of the matching crashes. Pseudo R2 for this single model is=.1641.
