Note:

All GMMs fit with two or more classes were estimated such that one of the classes was defined as a long-term alcohol abstainer/No HED class or a long-term no-alcohol-related-problems class. Single-class solutions were estimated using zero-inflated negative binominal distributions for alcohol volume and zero-inflated Poisson distributions for HED and problems. AIC: Akaike Information Criterion, BIC: Bayesian Information Criterion, Lo-Mendell-Rubin (Lo et al., 2001) Adjusted Likelihood Ratio Test denotes change in overall model fit for a (k) versus (k+1) class model (e.g., 1- vs. 2-class model).
