Table 2.

Multilevel models (MLM) examining change in observed BrAC during intravenous self-administration (Session 2) as a function of time and between-person moderators (subjective stimulant and sedative response to alcohol during Session 1 and OPRM1 genotype).

Note. Unstandardized parameter estimates shown. Estimates of fixed effects are shown; random intercepts and random slopes for all time contrasts were estimated in all models but are not shown in the table to conserve space. Time contrasts are estimated at the within-person level (level 1) and subjective response and genotype are modeled at the between-person level (level 2). Time was coded with the post-priming BrAC measurement (15 min) as T=0 and an interval of 1 between each successive BrAC measurement. Peak stimulation and peak sedation are grand-mean centered and standardized across participants (i.e., z-scored); p<.10; *p<.05; **p<.01.
