Means and SDs of alcohol and reinforcement variables.

---|---|---|---|---|---|
Variable | Mean | SD | Mean | SD | Cohen’s d |
Drinks/week (n = 11) | 20.91 | 19.78 | 11.45 | 10.84 | 0.59 |
No. of HDEs (n = 10) | 8.20 | 9.74 | 3.70 | 3.71 | 0.61 |
Peak BAC (n = 11) | 0.12 | 0.11 | 0.06 | 0.06 | 0.79 |
Reinforcement ratio (n = 9) |
0.40 | 0.10 | 0.35 | 0.21 | 0.30 |
Notes: HDE = past month heavy drinking episodes (5/4 drinks per occasion for men/women); BAC = blood alcohol content; reinforcement ratio is the proportion of total reinforcement derived from substance-related activities and is computed from the ARSS-SUV; one participant did not complete the heavy drinking item at baseline and two participants did not complete the ARSS-SUV correctly and thus had missing reinforcement ratio data.
