Drinking for social facilitation 1.17 (0.80, 1.70) 0.42 1.23 (0.82, 1.84) 0.32
Drinking due to social pressure 1.33 (0.82, 2.15) 0.25 1.28 (0.78, 2.11) 0.33

Note. Generalized linear models each include one baseline reason for drinking as a predictor, a 12-month alcohol variable as an outcome, and specification of a negative binomial distribution.

a

Controlled models control for intervention condition, baseline total drinks or dependence symptoms, age, sex, race, education, language of study completion, HIV medication status, and years since HIV diagnosis.

b

One participant had missing data on some demographic/HIV covariates, leading to a reduced sample size in controlled analyses.
