Marginal effects reported. As a robustness check, this version of eTable 7 excludes three covariates: pain limitations, hopelessness, and mental health status, in case they might be affected by stopping opioids. These results are consistent with eTable 7. Standard errors in parentheses adjusted for complex survey design
