a

lower limit was adjusted to be within window of observed values. “-” indicates interaction was not significant. Simple slopes were calculated at meaningful levels of the moderator when possible (e.g., monthly drinking, coping motives half the time) and at the mean +/− one standard deviation for measures for which meaningful levels were less clear (e.g., cannabis use frequency).
