Multinomial logistic regression analyses predicting membership classifications: former TBI (lifetime but not in the past 12 months; no current hazardous drinking), recent TBI (in the past 12 months; no current hazardous drinking), hazardous drinking (never had TBI), former TBI with co-occurring hazardous drinking (no recent TBI), recent TBI with co-occurring hazardous drinking and base category (Ref.; no TBI or hazardous drinking) by mental health measures among adolescents in grades 9–12, Ontario, Canada, 2013, n=3130

  • F—design adjusted Wald F tests; ORs and adjusted ORs (aORs) were calculated using logistic regression. aORs were evaluated while holding fixed values of the complexity of the design, sex and grade.

  • ***p<0.001; **p<0.01; *p<0.05.
