Note. The comparison group is “Should Not be Legal” (N = 3,383). Adjusted Odds Ratios (AORs) were adjusted for all other covariates in the model. The model was adjusted by cohort and includes missing data indicators. Model results derived using the case-complete dataset (without missing data) were nearly identical.
