Note: Class assignment is based on highest posterior probability of class membership. Alc Max: Maximum drinks/episode; HEDrk: heavy episodic drinkers (percent reporting 4+/5+drinks [females/males] per episode); MJ Freq: average days using marijuana per month; HS Grad: high school graduation; SES: socioeconomic status; Unemployed: Unemployed; Treatment: AOD treatment;
