In a relationship	1.56 (1.02, 2.41)	0.042	1.49 (0.98, 2.24)	0.060

Master's/professional degree	1.57 (0.82, 3.01)	0.175	2.16 (1.11, 4.19)	0.023
Total ACE (ref: low [0-1])
High [>=2]	1.58 (1.12, 2.23)	0.009	1.44 (1.03, 2.00)	0.030

Unadjusted bivariate risk ratios are presented with 95% confidence intervals and p values.

Adjusted risk ratios were estimated using a log binomial generalized linear model with ACE group as the primary predictor and were adjusted for age, current HC use, history of mood disorder (Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder) and for demographic variables associated with discontinuation at the level α = 0.2 or below (relationship status and education).
