Note. Separate logistic multilevel models predict the odds of engaging in SAM use on a given day compared to days in which they used alcohol but not marijuana; results reflect odds ratios. Models were conducted separately for those under 21 years and 21+ years old. Weekends (Thursdays through Saturdays) were coded as 1 and weekdays (Sundays through Wednesdays) were coded as 0. Number of people and others’ level of intoxication refers to only days involving use with at least one other person.
