Several other differences between women and men emerged in the final multivariate model. Among women, being out of the labor force was associated with nearly five-fold higher odds of mild relapse compared to employed peers (aOR 4.90; 95% CI 1.20, 19.95). Similarly, never having married was associated with five-fold higher odds of mild relapse compared to peers who were married or cohabitating (aOR 5.59; 95% CI 1.53, 20.47). Among men, those who had completed high school or had some college education but no degree had approximately two-thirds lower odds of mild relapse compared to peers with a bachelor’s degree or higher (aOR 0.33; 95% CI 0.14, 0.80; and aOR 0.34; 95% CI 0.15, 0.79, respectively). In contrast, men whose households were below the federal poverty level had three-times higher odds of mild relapse than peers in households above 200% of the federal poverty level (aOR 3.44; 95% CI 1.59, 7.46).
