Abbreviations: ADHD-SR = ADHD self-rating scale; BDI=Beck Depression Inventory; bl = blonde; blk = black; br = brown; d = day; g = gram; MDMA = 3,4methylenedioxymethamphetamine (“ecstasy”); mg = milligram; MWT-B = Mehrfachwahl-Wortschatz-Intelligenztest; ng = nanogram.

a

ANVOA group comparisons with significant Sidak post-hoc tests (cocaine user groups vs. controls: *P < .05, **P < .01,***P < .001; Decreasers vs. Sustained Users: °P < .05, °°P < .01,°°°P < .001.

b

χ2-test for frequency data (cocaine user groups only/all groups); Kramer's V reported as effect-size.

c

t-test (independent, two-tailed, cocaine users only); Cohen's d reported as effect-size.

d

Hair samples for four controls and four cocaine users are missing at baseline. At follow-up, hair sample for one sustained user is missing.

e

Average of use over the last six months.

f

At baseline the total cumulative dose across lifetime and at follow-up the total dose of cocaine consumed between the two measurement points are meant.

g

Urine tests classifications (neg/pos) are based on the following cutoff values: amphetamine = 300 ng/ml; cocaine = 150 ng/ml; tetrahydrocannabinol = 50 ng/ml (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2008). The frequency tests for amphetamine and cannabis included all three groups, whereas for cocaine only the two cocaine user groups.

h

Days passed until last consumption were averaged only for subjects using the substance within the last six months.

i

Data for one participant is missing.

k

Data for 2 participants are missing.
