Note. ORs present the odds of membership in the listed class relative to membership in the problem drinkers class conditioned upon class membership at the previous time point. Dashes indicate that we were unable to calculate odds ratios accounting for transitions from the low-intake drinkers class at Wave 3 to all other classes at Wave 4 due to a small reference class (n = 18).
