Intercorrelations Between TAC-AUC, PEth, and Daily Drinks (N = 45)
| Variable | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Average TAC-AUC at Time 1 | — | |||||
| 2. PEth at Time 1 | 0.41* | — | ||||
| 3. Average drinks per day at Time 1 | 0.32* | 0.004 | — | |||
| 4. Change in average TAC-AUC per day | −0.91* | −0.20 | −0.29* | — | ||
| 5. Change in PEth | −0.41* | −0.59* | 0.04 | 0.49* | — | |
| 6. Change in average drinks per day | −0.17 | 0.41* | −0.65* | 0.35* | 0.08 | — |
Note. TAC-AUC = transdermal alcohol concentration area under the curve; PEth = phosphatidylethanol. Change was calculated by subtracting Time 1 values (precontingency management [CM] period) from Time 2 values (the last 7 days of the CM period). Correlations that are negative indicate Time 1 values are correlated with reductions in corresponding variable; based on these values—persons with higher Time 1 values had on average, greater reductions between Time 1 and Time 2.
