Table 2 Weighted percentage of Past Year Heroin, illicitly manufactured fentanyl (IMF), and either heroin or IMF use. **Bonferroni corrected confidence interval. Setting significant level of α = 0.05 and accounting for 43 comparisons, the corrected significant level (α) is equal to 0.05/43 = 0.0011 and we constructed 99.88% confidence intervals. The absolute difference formula: NMURx prevalence minus NSDUH prevalence
