Note. BAC = blood alcohol concentration; RAPI = Rutgers Alcohol Problems Index; AUDIT = Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Estimates for which 95% confidence intervals do not contain zero represent significant relationships between predictor and outcome at the .05 level. Estimates for Readiness-to-Change on Peak BAC and RAPI are significant, even though one of the boundaries is rounded to zero.

a

Tabled values are unstandardized regression coefficients relating readiness-to-change (grand-mean centered at 32.06) to drinking outcome.

b

Tabled values report expected difference in presanction drinking estimates or presanction to 1-month change comparing individuals scoring 10 or higher on the AUDIT with individuals scoring less than 10.
