Dear all,
  I have a question regarding how to interpret squared term:
   Outcome var: addict to drug
  variable                exp(beta)
  Year                      1.05***
  Year squared     0.98***
   How shall I interpret the year effect (the year variable and the 
year squared variable)? Any suggestions would be appreciated very much.
