CI = confidence interval; CRT = crush-resistant tablet formulations.
The denominator is the number of abusers of the product category by any route; the prevalence estimate is the cases per 100 abusers of product by any route.
See Table 1 for specific products within each category.
Note that the relative risk values below 1 indicate that the comparator estimate is smaller than the reference product although the difference may or may not be significant. Relative risk values greater than 1 imply that the comparator estimate is greater than the reference.
