*Recent incarceration defined as having been incarcerated within past 6 months.

†P value for difference in associations between those with and without support at baseline.

‡Adjusted beta is estimates obtained from models weighted using the inverse probability to treatment weight.

§Low social support defined as lacking all forms of support at 12 months compared with having at least one form of support at 12 months.

aRR, adjusted risk ratio; RR, risk ratio.
