q3 · i? · associational · r2

Cross-sectional logistic regression of smoking and snuffing (occasional or daily use) against grades, adjusted for BMI and parental education. The girls' smoking association was "AOR: 0.18 (0.12-0.25)"; the authors state no other study has examined snuffing and achievement. No standardized effect size was printed.

"adjusted analyses showing decreased odds of a high academic score among girls and boys reporting to be smokers (AOR: 0.18 (0.12-0.25) and AOR: 0.37 (0.25-0.54), respectively) and snuffers (AOR: 0.25 (0.17-0.37) and AOR: 0.51 (0.36-0.72), respectively)."
