Each row represents a unique multivariable logistic regression model estimating a rates of use for the given substance (left column), controlling for past year stimulant use or misuse and past year prescription opioid use or misuse. Adjusted proportions were calculated using post-estimation predictive margins.
Different than no use p < 0.001.
Different than no use p < 0.01.
Different than prescription opioid use p < 0.001.
Different than prescription opioid misuse p < 0.001.
