*

GEE was used to account for clustering of deliveries by the same women across the study period. A binary outcome was used (0=no non-prescribed substances on toxicology testing within six months of delivery, 1=evidence of non-prescribed substances on toxicology testing within six months of delivery)

**

Model was adjusted for all covariates listed
