Adjusted p-values usually are adjusted because you are performing multiple tests at once, and so the p-values are adjusted to yield an overall type-I error rate that is desired (say 0.05 across all tests) rather than the type one error rate desired (0.05) for a single (not multiple) test.

Unadjuste p-value for what?

 

Some procedures, like Multtest, are specifically designed to make appropriate adjustments. So you really need to describe what you are testing.

Almost all procedures will give un-adjusted p values. Please explain your problem in more detail so we can know what you are talking about.

Unadjusted typically means it includes only the variable/treatment and the outcome. You 'adjust' for other variables by then including them in the model, so adding 'age' variable adjusts for the age factor.
