Figure 2A–C. Alcohol stimulation, liking and wanting at initial and re-examination phases.
Data are shown for light (n=70) and heavy drinker groups (n=86), as well the heavy drinker AUD trajectory subgroups, including low AUD (n=26), intermediate AUD (n=51), and high AUD (n=9). Fig 2A is the net change score (alcohol session peak BrAC minus baseline change score minus the same change score for the placebo session) for the BAES stimulation; three outliers (<3 SD below mean) were removed in this analysis. Fig 2B and 2C are the DEQ like and want more change scores (alcohol session minus placebo session), respectively. GEE results are depicted for group and group x phase effects, see Table 2 for post-estimation testing results.
