Linear regression analyses comparing respondents (N = 839) reporting past 12-month use of cocaine only (n = 144), opioids only (n = 622) or both (n = 73) with regard to past-12-month alcohol use

Notes: Both alcohol variables winsorized, then log transformed to reduce skew. Cocaine use only and opioid use only were dummy codes with cocaine/opioid co-use as the reference group. Family history was coded 1 for at least 1 first order relative with a history of a drug problem and 0 for no first order relative with a history of a drug problem In each model, the following variables were held constant: sex, marital status (currently married or unmarried), military status, educational attainment (at least some college or not), race/ethnicity (White or Non-White) and age. Full results including findings for these covariates are available from the authors.
