Note: PU = positive urgency, LPL = lack of planning, SS = sensation seeking, LPS = lack of perseverance, NU = negative urgency, DQ1 = time 1 drinking quantity, DQ2 = time 2 drinking quantity, DF1 = time 1 drinking frequency, DF2 = time 2 drinking frequency, DP1 = time 1 drinking problems, DP2 = time 2 drinking problems, SEX = biological sex. Drinking variables measured by the DSQ; PU measured with the PUM; LPL, SS, LPS, and NU measured with the UPPS-R.

Note. Time 1 assessment at beginning of first year of college; Time 2 assessment at the end of the first year of college. Length of time between assessments = approximately 8 months. Assessment period is over the individual’s lifetime. Values here include imputed values from total sample of n = 418. Values were unchanged using non-imputed data.
