Note: Means and standard deviations are based on values with outliers corrected. MI = Brief motivational interview. FO = Feedback only. Baseline sample sizes were MI (N = 35) and FO (N = 33). Drinks per drinking day variable was only computed for participants who reported any past month drinking, resulting in a smaller baseline sample size of MI (N = 33) and FO (N = 31). Sample sizes vary slightly at follow-up time points due to missing data.
