The association between nine SUDs assessed at Wave 1 (2001-2002) and a broad range of outcomes (divorce/separation, violence, unemployment, financial crisis, legal problems, problems with a neighbor, friend, or relative, and quality of life) at Wave 2 (2005-2005) were estimated separately and simultaneously using a latent variable model to account for their co-occurrence and identify potential disorder-specific effects.
Among those in remission from a sedative or tranquilizer use disorder at Wave 1, 4.8% had a tranquilizer or sedative use disorder while 34.7% had at least one other SUD at Wave 2.
US adults with multiple past-year SUDs at Wave 1 were substantially more likely than those with an individual past-year SUD or no SUD at Wave 1 to report at least 1 past-year SUD at Wave 2 (66.3% vs 46.0% vs 6.9%, respectively).
In the fully adjusted model, smoking at Wave 2 among Wave 1 nonsmokers was associated with significantly greater odds of SUD relapse compared to Wave 2 nonsmoking (OR = 4.86, 95% CI, 3.11-7.58).
