Data derived from the National Survey of Drug Use and Health 2010-2013

Proportions weighted to reflect the US population

p-values obtained from designed-based F-tests

1

Women 12 to 44 years old who were unsure of their pregnancy status (n=466) were grouped in the not pregnant reference group

2

Other race category includes non-Hispanic Native American/Alaskan Natives, non-Hispanic Hawaiians/other Pacific Islanders, non-Hispanic Asians, and people reporting more than one race (other than Hispanic)

3

Persons 12 to 17 years old (n=35,662) were included in the less than high-school group

4

Participants 14 years old and younger (n=17, 211) were not asked questions regarding marital status (i.e., legitimate skip in respondents in the NSDUH Survey). These participants were included in the unmarried group in these analyses

5

Persons 18 to 22 years old living in a college dorm (n=1,493) were grouped with persons living at <100 of the US Census Bureau Poverty Threshold
