Notes: Results obtained from logistic regressions using weighted data. Nonveterans served as the reference group in all analyses. Veteran n = 3,119 of 36,301 cases. DSM-5 = Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition; SUD = substance use disorder; diff. = difference in prevalence between veterans and nonveterans.
