CUD = cannabis use disorder; CI = confidence interval
a
adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, education level, frequency of past year cannabis use
b
PD = prevalence difference, prevalence of outcome (consequence) among those with CUD minus prevalence of outcome among those without CUD
Note: Participants with missing responses for an outcome were excluded for that analysis (range of missingness: 0 [0.0%] – 24 [0.63%]). Participants missing for frequency of cannabis use (12, 0.35%) were excluded as well.
