Swap the two

Graded in both

Outcomes are matched by name. Two entries can describe the same outcome in different words, so one listed further down may still be graded in the other.

No outcome has the same name in both entries. They may still overlap under different wording — read the two lists below.

Graded only in Benzodiazepines

None — every outcome it grades is graded in both.

Graded only in Benzodiazepines + Opioids: use with caution
