Note: Drug/alcohol network stability had a Bernoilli distribution. All variables were time-varying unless otherwise noted.
Stage 1 assessed the relationship of time to drug/alcohol network stability, and whether gender or baseline substance misuse interacted with time to influence drug/alcohol network stability. Non-significant interactions are not shown.
Stage 2 assessed the relationships of each participant and place characteristic to drug/alcohol network stability, controlling for time.
Stage 3 assessed the relationship of “change since baseline measures” of place characteristics associated with drug/alcohol network stability in Stage 2 at a p-value≤0.10, controlling for the baseline measures of the selected place characteristics, time, age, gender, ACASI survey administration variable, and other participant characteristics associated with the drug/alcohol network stability at p≤0.05 in Stage 2. Substance use was not included in Stage 3 because it was hypothesized to be a mediator.
