Table 4.

Changes in strength of associations between POUD and illegal behaviors from 2002–2014.

Illegal Behavior Unadjusted IOR (95% CI) AIOR (95% CI)

  Sold illicit drugs 2.09 (1.44, 3.05)*** 2.41 (1.56, 3.71)***
  Stole > $50 1.83 (1.18, 2.84)** 2.12 (1.31, 3.44)**
  Attacked with intent to harm 0.99 (0.68, 1.43) 1.03 (0.70, 1.51)
  Arrest (ever) 1.61 (1.17, 2.21)** 1.53 (1.06, 2.19)*
  Arrest 1.24 (0.85, 1.80) 1.23 (0.80, 1.89)
  Heroin use 2.48 (1.30, 4.75)** 2.61 (1.32, 5.15)**
  Non-heroin illicit drug use 1.49 (1.06, 2.10)* 1.66 (1.10, 2.52)*

Note: Variables reflect past-year history unless otherwise noted.

Abbreviations: POUD, prescription opioid use disorder; CI, Confidence interval; IOR, interaction odds ratio; AIOR, adjusted interaction odds ratio. Each interaction odds ratio reflects the total 13-year change in the odds for each illegal behavior by POUD status, as measured by the interaction term POUD status*time.

AIORs were adjusted for sex, age and race/ethnicity.
