Notes: Statistics were calculated using all available data from each interview. The dichotomous measure “Any 12-step meeting attendance” was computed as the percentage of participants reporting nonzero values for 12-step meeting attendance days on the Form 90. GAATOR = General Alcoholics Anonymous Tools of Recovery Scale, total score; problem recognition = Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale, problem recognition subscale.
