  1. aOR = Adjusted Odds Ratio; CI = Confidence Intervals; P = P-Value; Bolded values = significant at p < 0.05.
  2. Note. All variables were significantly associated with the outcome in bivariate analyses. Since older individuals have more years to use drugs and MOUD than younger individuals, the multivariable model shown here adjusted for age.
