Study of the hierarchical linear model

Model 1 (Alcohol Use)

Level 1:

log(Drinks) = π₀ + π₁(Limiting/Stopping Drinking_within)+ π₂(Manner of Drinking_within)+ π₃(Serious Harm Reduction_within)

Level 2:

π₀ = β₀₀ + β₀₁(Gender) + β₀₂(Condition) + β₀₃(Limiting/Stopping Drinking_between)+ β₀₄(Manner of Drinking_between)+ β₀₅(Serious Harm Reduction_between) + r_0i

π₁ = β₁₀

π₂ = β₂₀

π₃ = β₃₀

Model 2 (Negative Consequences) and Model 3 (Positive Consequences)

Level 1:

log(Consequences) = π₀ + π₁(Limiting/Stopping Drinking_within)+ π₂(Manner of Drinking_within)+ π₃(Serious Harm Reduction_within)+ π₄(Alcohol Use_within)

Level 2:

π₀ = β₀₀ + β₀₁(Gender) + β₀₂(Condition) + β₀₃(Limiting/Stopping Drinking_between)+ β₀₄(Manner of Drinking_between)+ β₀₅(Serious Harm Reduction_between) + β₀₅(Alcohol Use_between)+ r_0i

π₁ = β₁₀

π₂ = β₂₀

π₃= β₃₀

π₄ = β₄₀

Note. Gender (0=women, 1=men), Condition (0=control, 1=intervention).
