*Included 129 pairs. Potential factors not considered in this model include gender and age (since this was a matched study). All other factors that were significant in the univariate analysis (Tables 1.1 and 1.2) were considered in this model. The analysis was conducted using backward stepwise methods

#With every unit increase in AUDIT, the odds of being a case approximately doubled. With every unit increasein BIS-8, the odds of being a case was 18.4% times higher
