  1. aThe models for each outcome of interest were adjusted for the effects of sex, duration of drug use, and lifetime exposure to opioid agonist therapy and included participant ID as a random effect
  2. bThe adjusted odds ratios show by how much the odds of the outcome will increase (aOR > 1) or decrease (aOR < 1) with each consecutive assessment
