The annual percentage of SKIP respondents who indicated initiating regular opioid use with heroin exhibited a steadily increasing trend relative to the yearly percentage of those SKIP respondents who indicated initiating regular opioid use with prescription opioids over the 2005-2015 time period.
State the corresponding hypothesis.
(HINT: dependent variable is opioid of first regular use with levels heroin versus prescription opioids (hydrocodone and/or oxycodone) and independent variable is time or more specifically, year beginning regular use of opioid. Figure 1 may be helpful.)

pps. 215-216 and pps. 221- 229).
FINDING AND LIMITATIONS
6. Discuss the construction of variable named year beginning regular opioid use and how
Cicero et al. (2018) used it in the analysis of the SKIP Program data.
7. What are the studys main findings?
8. What are the limitations of the study? (HINT: Do not forget to consider the nature of the sample.)
