Notes: Boldface indicates statistical significance (p<0.05). The bivariate associations between different categories of past 30–day marijuana use (i.e., no marijuana use, marijuana vaping only, marijuana use only) and for each level of demographic characteristics shown in Table 2. The 3 categories are mutually exclusive: the first column checks associations of each explanatory variable with no marijuana use, the second column with past 30–day marijuana vaping, and the third with past 30–day marijuana use (not vaped). The Other race category includes all responses other than Black or African American, White (Caucasian), Hispanic (Mexican, Cuba, Puerto Rican, Other Hispanic). It therefore includes Asian American, American Indian or Alaska Native as well as Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander and respondents who fell into more than 1 of those 3 categories. Bivariate associations of the explanatory variables race, geographical region, and parental education were assessed by checking associations of each separate outcome with the reference group of not being included in the outcome being tested. Displayed percentages. Sample size in parenthesis.
