a

adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, and education level

b

adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, education level, and frequency of cannabis use in the past year

c

Note: Participants with missing responses for an outcome were excluded for that analysis (range of missingness: 0 [0.0%] – 24 [0.63%]) in Models 1 and 2. Participants missing for frequency of cannabis use (12, 0.35%) were excluded from model 2. Bolded values are significant (p<.05).
