Note. Estimates are significantly different from zero if the 95% confidence interval does not contain zero.

a

Average presanction values per group, holding readiness-to-change and AUDIT status constant.

b

Expected change in drinking from presanction month to 1-month postintervention follow-up.

c

Expected monthly drinking change from 1 month to 12 months.

d

A significant difference exists at the .05 level between the Alcohol 101 and BMI groups.
