Notes: Rates were calculated while taking the complex samples structure with study weights into account. Numbers in parentheses indicate maximum sample size n, and sample size slightly varies across items because of missing responses. The maximum sample size was 15,230 for the total, and the minimum sample size for both columns was 14,026. RAPI = Rutgers Alcohol Problem Index.
