Notes: Bolded values are statistically significant at p<0.05. All percentages are from column totals. AOR=adjusted odds ratio; 95% CI=95% confidence interval. Models adjusted for sex, age, race/ethnicity, income, marital status, employment status, education, illicit drug or alcohol abuse/dependence, and survey year. All analyses account for the complex sampling design of the NSDUH.
