  1. a and b Odds ratios are significant at the 1% and 5% significance level, respectively. 95% confidence intervals in parentheses. Ref: reference category. Subjective changes in alcohol use and changes in cannabis use variables are categorical with five categories: 1 (much less), 2 (slightly less), 3 (no change), 4 (slightly more), and 5 (much more). For these variables, proportional odds ratios were reported. Heavy episodic drinking and the use of cannabis at least once a week are binary variables
  2. Note: Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals are adjusted for age, marital status, education, ethnoracial background, geographic location, the presence of children, other people in the household, and survey wave indicator variables
