The sentences

marginal significancep = 0.032actually significant
For 2021, the smoking interaction term reached marginal significance (AOR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.01–1.16, p = 0.032), suggesting that smoking declined somewhat less among single-person households relative to multi-person households in the later pandemic period; however, this effect was modest in magnitude.

marginally significantno p-value reported
Critically, the year x household type interaction was non-significant for high-risk drinking across all years; for smoking, a marginally significant interaction emerged only in 2021 (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.01–1.16), suggesting a slight but limited divergence in the later pandemic period.
