Table 1.

Participant characteristics for main outcomes. Percent of participants in scoring categories of the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) and the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS). Means (standard deviations) of impulsivity measures for men and women. The total score and the subscale scores are given for the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale version 11, as are three outcomes from the Stop Task.

Note: Different sample sizes across impulsivity measures reflect removal of outliers. Data are presented with out respect to health-risk behavior status. Go RT = Go Trial Reaction Time, SSRT = Stop Signal Reaction Time.
