Notes: Alcohol-related problems are not reported because of differences in timeframes the consequences were assessed. At baseline, participants reported consequences experienced over the past 6 months, and at 1-month and 6-month follow-ups, participants reported consequences experienced over the past month. PDF = personalized drinking feedback; EDU = educational information; BAC = blood alcohol concentration (estimated).
