Table 5.

Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for the effects of predictors on abstinence from heavy drinking in logistic regression analyses in COMBINE and in PREDICT.

Predictor Categories COMBINE TS COMBINE VS PREDICT
Predictors from tree analyses CDA Longer vs. Shorter1 3.97 (2.59, 6.09)* 2.39 (1.37, 4.15)* 1.60 (1.09, 2.35)*
Age Older vs. Younger2 2.08 (1.36, 3.20)* 1.70 (1.09, 2.64)* 1.21 (0.82, 1.78)
Age (among shorter abstinence) Older vs. Younger2 2.51 (1.83, 3.45)* 1.61 (0.58, 4.43) 1.13 (0.65, 1.97)
Age (among longer abstinence) Older vs. Younger2 1.73 (0.78, 3.83) 1.65 (0.95, 2.87) 1.29 (0.76, 2.20)
Predictors from deterministic forest analyses CDA Longer vs. Shorter1 3.73 (2.40, 5.78)* 2.18 (1.24, 3.81)* 1.63 (1.11, 2.40)*
Age Older vs. Younger2 2.43 (1.80, 3.28)* 1.40 (0.92, 2.13) 1.16 (0.75, 1.65)
Drinking goal Complete abstinence vs. other goals 1.97 (1.45, 2.66)* 1.71 (1.14, 2.57)* 1.71 (1.14, 2.55)*
1

In COMBINE “longer” means “> 14 days”, in PREDICT “longer” means “> 21 days”.

2

In both data sets “older” means “> 45 years”.

Effects are significant at 0.05 level.
