TABLE 4.
ORs (95% CIs) for Unrestrained Passengers Aged 0 to 14 Years Driven by Drivers Screened for Both Drugs and Alcohol Using Unadjusted and Adjusted Multilevel Logistic Regression for Children Involved in Fatal Crashes, FARS 2010 to 2013 (n = 4724)

Models are mixed effects using SAS GLIMMIX to control for clustering.
Driver age in this model is a continuous variable with a quadratic term.
