a
All models are adjusted for age, race, marital status, income, education, job status and study site
b
Model includes both outlet density and neighborhood disadvantage
c
Reference category
d
p-value <0.05 in models of drinking place density
e
p-value <0.05 in models of liquor store density and drinking place density, separately
Note: Bolded values are significant at p<0.05
