Note. Significant effects are in bold typeface for emphasis and were determined by a 95% bias-corrected bootstrapped confidence interval (based on 10,000 bootstrapped samples) that does not contain zero.

a

Reflects the combined indirect effects via limiting/stopping drinking, manner of drinking, and serious harm reduction.

b

Reflects the direct effect between college-related beliefs and alcohol consumption.

c

Reflects the combined indirect effects via limiting/stopping drinking, manner of drinking, serious harm reduction, alcohol consumption, limiting/stopping drinking-alcohol consumption, manner of drinking-alcohol consumption, and serious harm reduction-alcohol consumption.

d

Reflects the direct effect between college-related beliefs and alcohol-related consequences. Total effects reflect the combined direct and indirect effects.
