Table 2. The First Step of the Cox Model Assesses the Predictive Value of Lifetime History of Methamphetamine use (total uses), Days Since Last Use and Risk-taking Behavior.

Predictor B SE p-Value Odds ratio
Variables in the equation        
 Methamphetamine use −0.33 0.26 0.21 0.72
 Days since last use 0.28 0.22 0.19 1.3
 Risk-taking −0.26 0.27 0.33 0.77
 Right insula (risk–safe) −1.1 0.33 0.001 0.34

In the second step, right insula is added. Right insula represents average activation during a risky decision minus activation during a safe decision, reflecting the differential activation between risk and safe.
