  • AOR = adjusted odds ratio for women reporting opioid prescriptions vs women reporting none.

  • Notes: Model 1 includes adjustment for age, race/ethnicity, US Census region, education level, income, health insurance status, health status, comorbidities, smoking status, usual source of care, and panel year. Model 2 includes all covariates in Model 1, as well as count of doctor’s office visits.

  • a Adjusted Wald test comparing parameter estimates for opioids in Model 1 and Model 2.
