The number of observations with (nonmissing) data available. Each student could contribute multiple observations.
The estimate of the association of the respective regressor with cannabis initiation (vs. no initiation) across follow-up is adjusted for gender, ethnicity, baseline highest parental education, baseline free or reduced lunch, and wave.
The estimate of the association of the respective regressor with cannabis initiation (vs. no initiation) across follow-up is simultaneously adjusted for gender, ethnicity, baseline highest parental education, baseline free or reduced lunch, wave, and all other social media predictor variables.
Any cannabis use initiation includes reported use of combustible cannabis, blunts, and edible, vaporized, or synthetic cannabis.
Reported frequency of digital media use. 0= no high frequency use of either digital media item; 1= high frequency use of 1 item; 2= high frequency use of both digital media items.
Other cannabis use initiation includes reported use of edible, vaporized, or synthetic cannabis.
