aOR= adjusted odds ratio; adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity/race, and education; 95% CI= 95% confidence interval. Note: Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) were defined by two or more use disorder DSM-5 criteria occurring in the past 12 months. Those with any other substance use disorder in the past year (n=659) were excluded from the analytic sample.
