Note. N = 263. PBSS = Protective Behavioral Strategies Survey; SQ = Strategy Questionnaire; Prob = Alcohol-related Problems; RAPI = Rutgers Alcohol Problem Index; B-YAACQ = Brief Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire. Significant effects are bolded (p < .05) for emphasis. The underlined values on the diagonal reflect Cronbach’s alphas for multi-item inventories
