aAll estimates are probability weighted using Statistics Canada sampling weights.

bAdjusted for age, sex, highest education completed, culture/race, and chronic mental illness.

cDefined as “yes” to any of chronic fatigue, mood disorder including depression, anxiety disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, or attention deficit disorder, versus “no” to all.

NMAU = nonmedical analgesic use; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval.
