Adjusted for sex, age, race, and income
NMUPP = nonmedical use of prescription painkillers
Reference Categories: military status = current reserve soldier, sex = male, age = 35–49 years, race = Other than Non-Hispanic White, income = $75,000+
AOR > 1.00 = the case group has a higher odds of the outcome than the referent group, controlling for the other covariates
AOR < 1.00 = the case group has a lower odds of the outcome than the referent group(s), controlling for the other covariates
