Notes: Data in italics represent the comparison group (e.g., the full respondent sample, adults with no alcohol or substance use disorder diagnosis). Percentages are presented when possible with an asterisk to denote significant comparisons. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confident intervals (CIs) are presented when percentages were not reported in the article and include an asterisk when significant (i.e., CI does not overlap with 1). Unadjusted ORs are presented unless otherwise noted.
