Descrptive Statistics (Percentages or Means/SDs) for Prospective Follow-Up Variables Over 5 Years for the Total Sample of Heavy Drinkers Who Participated in Follow-Up Interviews (n = 1,150) and by Latent Heavy Drinking (HD) Class

		Latent HD class (%)
Variable	Total follow-up HD sample (%)	SC	SNC	LO	YA	F or χ²	p
Received treatment for alcohol and/or drugs	36.1	42.6^*	37.8	37.3	27.9^***	14.1	0.003
Average AUDIT score	4.7 (6.0)	6.6 (7.4)^c	3.5 (5.0)^a	5.3 (6.5)^b	3.3 (3.8)^a	18.9	<0.001

SC, severe chronic; SNC, severe nonchronic; LO, late onset; YA, young adult; AUDIT, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test.

Means with different superscripts are significantly different from one another and are based on post hoc Tukey’s tests (for continuous variables).

Categorical covariate significance levels are denoted with asterisks (^*p < 0.05, ^**p < 0.01, ^***p < 0.001) and were based on post hoc logistic regressions—that is, the categorical covariates were regressed onto each of the HD class designations. Results are based on the combined sample of HIV+ and non-HIV controls.
