Notes. OR = odds ratio; aOR = adjusted odds ratio (i.e., adjusted for all other predictor variables); CI = confidence interval; 95% CIs that do not include 1 are significant at p < .05 and indicated with bold font; reference groups: gay (for sexual orientation), White (for race/ethnicity), and NYC (for city). In supplemental analyses (not presented), we changed the reference group for city in order to compare men in Chicago to men in Atlanta. Men in Atlanta were significantly more likely to report recent use of GHB compared to men in Chicago (aOR = 2.52, 95% CI = 1.03, 6.20). None of the other additional between-city comparisons were significant.
