aEach dependent variable (SCD self-care, days treating pain at home, in ED/infusion center, and hospital admissions) were adjusted separately for sex and education with lifetime marijuana use as independent variable. For all outcomes, we used linear regression model, reported Beta (SE), F-ratio and R-square for unadjusted model, adjR-square for adjusted model.
bNumber included in analyses from 66–69 based on varied item missingness.
cNumber included in analyses from 208–217 based on varied item missingness.
dLower scores are associated with endorsing less self-care behaviors. Sample score range 9–24.
