Notes: The sample sizes for the models varied due to missing data on the individual covariates and dependent measures. Illicit drug use consisted of any 30-day use of cocaine, ecstasy, LSD, other hallucinogens, or heroin use. Nonmedical Rx drug use consisted of any nonmedical use of prescription opioids, sedatives, stimulants or tranquilizers. AOR’s were adjusted for sex, race/ethnicity, age, school geographical region, metropolitan statistical area, parental education, and college plans.
