Notes: The model predicting any SAM use on alcohol days included 1,917 days nested in 381 participants. The model predicting any SAM use on marijuana days included 2,166 days nested in 326 participants. Current education status was coded as 1 (attending a 4-year college or university) and 0 (all other options). Weekend refers to the day on which the behavior occurred (i.e., alcohol or marijuana use) and was coded 1 (Thursday, Friday, Saturday) and 0 (all other days).
