Note.
The alcohol composite score is calculated by taking into account both frequency and quantity of alcohol use as measured by the Customary Drinking and Drug Use Record.
The estimated Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) during typical drinking taking into account quantity of alcohol use, time spent drinking, gender, and weight.
The total number of negative consequences of alcohol and drug use as measured by the Alcohol and Drug Use Consequences Questionnaire.
This is the average confidence rating in abstaining from hypothetical high-risk situations.
The number of previous treatment sessions attended in the three months prior to study enrollment.
Welch’s robust F statistic for unequal variances.
