Overall, income was not found to be a significant predictor of PYOM. However, income was found to modify the effects of major depressive episode and alcohol use on PYOM, especially among Black women who reported earning ≥$75,000/year. These findings suggest that high-earning Black women may be just as at risk for opioid misuse as low-earning Black women. Further studies are warranted to explore these effects among other gender/racial groups to determine if this trend is unique to Black women.
