Notes: “FI” = food insecurity. “PO” = prescription opioid. All models adjusted for sex, age, race-ethnicity, household income, income imputation status, household highest education, housing status, household type, immigrant status, urbanicity, smoking status, past-year alcohol consumption, and prescription medication insurance status. Robust 95% confidence intervals are shown in parentheses.
