Note. Models control for sex. Consumption is standardized. Std. = standardized. ΔR˄2 is the change in model fit when a given score is added to a model already including sex and DSM-5 alcoholuse disorder. Resid. = residual factor. CU = Compulsive Use, PD = Physiological Dependence.

s

= significantly smaller than standardized DSM-5 estimate. .

l

= significantly larger than standardized DSM-5 estimate.

= Each of the 8 SF-12 subscales were also evaluated and the pattern of results were the same, therefore, an overall each of the 11 criteria were counted. Moderate AUD only counts those of moderate severity (i.e., rank = 2), and Severe AUD only counts those with the highest severity (i.e., rank = 3).
