Hierarchical linear models examining associations between weekly readiness to change and subsequent alcohol use

Variable	B	SE	t	p
Model 1A: Week t + 1 drinks as outcome
Intercept	2.96***	0.15	19.58	<.001
Average RTC (L2)	0.03	0.05	0.75	.456
Week t drinks (L1)	0.02***	0.01	4.15	<.001
Weekly RTC slope (L1)	-0.13***	0.03	-3.94	<.001
Model 1B: Week t + 1 HED frequency as outcome
Intercept	0 g4***	0.05	1 5.76	<.001
Average RTC (L2)	0.01	0.01	0.86	.390
Week t HED (L1)	0.12***	0.02	5.87	<.001
Weekly RTC slope (L1)	-0.04**	0.01	-2.82	.006

Notes: RTC = readiness to change; HED = heavy episodic drinking; L1 = Level 1; L2 = Level 2.
