χ2-test for frequency data (cocaine user groups only/all groups); Kramer's V reported as effect-size.
t-test (independent, two-tailed, cocaine users only); Cohen's d reported as effect-size.
Hair samples for four controls and four cocaine users are missing at baseline. At follow-up, hair sample for one sustained user is missing.
Average of use over the last six months.
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.
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.
Days passed until last consumption were averaged only for subjects using the substance within the last six months.
Data for one participant is missing.
Data for 2 participants are missing.
