Latent growth model: Effect of baseline painful medical conditions on 10- drinking trajectories
Notes. DB0, DB1, DB4, DB10=measured drinking behavior (amount of ethanol consumed; frequency of drinking; frequency of drinking problems) variables assessed at baseline and 1, 4, and 10 years later; I=estimated average initial level of drinking behavior; S=estimated average linear growth rate; PMC= baseline painful medical conditions; M=moderating variable (gender, age, race, history of drinking problems, avoidance coping responses, interpersonal stressors, social resources) hypothesized to influence the relationship between baseline painful medical conditions and growth parameters I and S.
