aOdds ratios are unadjusted because the number of teens who had the behavior was too small for logistic regression. bStatistics were not performed because the sample size is too small; 4/11 (36.4%) teens who attempted suicide required medical attention. cBinge drinking is defined as having 5 or more drinks of alcohol in a row, within a couple of hours. AOR, adjusted odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; d, days; m, months; Ref., reference category; wk, weeks; y, years. Multiple logistic regression models included age category, gender, race, type of kidney disease, and number of medications/day. na, odds ratio not available because no 13- to 15-year-olds drank or used drugs the last time had sex.
