Table 4.

Logistic regression analyses odd ratios (with 95% confidence intervals [in brackets]) using baseline (Time 1) items significantly different across trajectories of maximum drinks classes in Table 3 to predict each of Class 1 through 4

Notes: Blank cells = nonsignificant; continuous variables were entered as standardized variables. SRE = self-report measure of the number of drinks need for effects the first five times drinking; LR = level of response; no. = number; AUD = alcohol use disorder; NEO = NEO Five-Factor Inventory personality inventory with scores presented as T values where 50 indicates an average score regarding the literature; peer maximum drinks = from Important Persons and Activity Scale; alcohol expectancy = Alcohol Expectancy Questionnaire (adult and adolescent); z alcohol expectancy = scales z scored within adults and within adolescents.
