Odds ratios are adjusted for grade 5 prevalence, student age, sex, race, ethnicity, parental education, grade 5 religious attendance, grade 5 rebelliousness, student population of the community, and percentage of students in the community receiving free or reduced-price school lunch. Alcohol use in the last 30 days in grade 5 was used to adjust analyses of 10th-grade marijuana, prescription drug, and other illicit drug use because of very low baseline use of these drugs.
