Significant at the p<0.05 level.
Note. Values are polynomial contrast estimates and the associated standard errors using maximum likelihood estimation, the log link function, robust errors, and Huber-White sandwich estimators. Prescription medications represent opportunity and use given opportunity of nonmedical use of prescription stimulants, analgesics, and tranquilizers only.
