RD = Risk Difference, i.e. difference in prevalence across time; CI = confidence interval
All prevalence estimates incorporate sampling weights to represent US population of current smokers between ages 18–54 years old.
The sample assessed for PTSD in 1990 and 2010 is slightly smaller: Male 1990 N=631, Female 1990 N=679, Male 2001 N=599, Female 2001 N=552
Any Anxiety includes panic attack, panic disorder, PTSD, social phobia, specific phobia, GAD; Any Depression includes MDD, Dysthymia, Bipolar I or II
p-value is for test assessing gender by time interaction indicating difference in RDs
