Notes: BAC = blood alcohol concentration; HED = heavy episodic drinking; RAPI = Rutgers Alcohol Problem Index.
Values in each postbaseline column represent: (p value) adjusted mean [SE]; (p value) in parentheses represents significance for treatment group differences uncorrected for multiple comparisons if overall trend p value is significant; if overall trend p value is not significant, (p value) represents significance for group differences with Bonferroni correction;
trend p value is from repeated measures analysis of covariance model adjusting for baseline measure and correlation of repeated measures over time; trend p value < .05 indicates a significant difference between treatment groups over time;
baseline and 12 months represent average frequencies reported in past 12 months.
