Note. Range of possible mean scores is indicated in brackets.
Alcohol use frequency and quantity are past-month measures.
SE=standard error.
Estimates control for demographic and program characteristics (age, sex, race/ethnicity, international student status, employment status, marital status, children, and degree type), alcohol use frequency, alcohol quantity, and all other motive and context factors.
