Stepwise regression models assessing predictors of medical cannabis use for menopause-related symptoms (two-tailed)

Cannabis use for menopause-related symptoms	P	OR	OR 95% CI
			LB	UB
Backward stepwisea
Number of medical conditionsb	<0.01	1.67	1.21	2.30
Menopause statusc	0.01	0.35	0.16	0.76
Education leveld	0.05	0.64	0.41	0.99

Bold numbers are significant at P ≤ 0.05.

LB, lower bound; OR, odds ratio; UB, upper bound.

^aModel summary: χ²(3, N = 178) = 21.028, p < 0.001.

^bNumber of medical conditions is a count variable calculated using categories of medical conditions (e.g., psychiatric, pain, uterine/vaginal, sleep, cardiovascular/hematological, endocrine, oncological, gastrointestinal, dermatological, neurological/neurodegenerative, and other).

^cMenopause status: perimenopausal (ref.) versus postmenopausal.

^dEducation level is a ranked variable (1-4): 1, general educational development (GED)/high school diploma; 2, some college/training/Associate's degree; 3, Bachelor's degree; 4, Master's/Doctoral degree.
