p≤0.05;
p≤0.01, BOLD indicates situational predictor variable was significant (p≤0.05) in multivariate model;
all analyses were adjusted for participants’ age and race. Analyses examining drug use situational predictor variables were adjusted for participants’ drug use behaviours at baseline;
excludes episodes in which participants indicated not knowing if their partner used drugs before or during the episode.
