Note. “Other race/ethnicity” includes those who identified as non-Hispanic other race, Hispanic/Latino, and more than one race/ethnicity. ‘Unmarried” includes participants who are never married or widowed/divorced/separated. “Employed” includes participants who are employed full-time, part-time, and through a university assistantship.

SE=Standard error. Estimates control for all other demographic and program characteristics as well as past-month alcohol use frequency and quantity.
