Note. LL = Lower limit of 95% confidence interval. UL = Upper limit of 95% confidence interval. AS = Anxiety Sensitivity. DM = Drinking Motive. Chained Med = Chained Mediation pathway from AS to Alcohol Problems through Symptoms and then Drinking Motives. AS-DM Med = Mediation pathway from AS to Alcohol Problems through Drinking Motives. AS-Anxiety/Depression Med = Mediation pathway from AS to Alcohol Problems through Anxiety/Depression. Significant effects (Those whose confidence interval does not include zero) are in bold. Covariates included gender, age, and site.
