Moderated mediation of AA duration (Year 1) predicting drinking and psychosocial outcomes at Year 1 via decreases in impulsivity (baseline to Year 1) across levels of age at baseline.

Note. Low and high age = −/+ 1 SD, respectively. Conditional indirect effects are unstandardized coefficients. The main effect of baseline age, the outcome measure at baseline, and decreases in drinking pattern (baseline to Year 1) were controlled in all models.
