Table 4.
Frequencies and Means (Standard Deviation) for Distal Outcomes at 7‐ to 9‐Year Follow‐Up by Latent Profiles (n = 127)
| Distal outcomes | Profile 1: Low‐functioning frequent heavy drinking (n = 18) | Profile 2: Low‐functioning infrequent heavy drinking (n = 20) | Profile 3: High‐functioning heavy drinking (n = 27) | Profile 4: High‐functioning infrequent drinking (n = 62) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Health rated “Good” to “Excellent,” N (%) | 14 (77.8%) | 11 (55.0%) | 24 (88.9%) | 54 (87.1%) |
| Any hospital stays, N (%) | 3 (16.7%) 3 | 2 (10.0%) | 2 (7.4%) 1 | 9 (14.5%) |
| % drinking days, mean (SD) | 72.4% (36.4%)2,3,4 | 33.2% (29.0%) 1, 3 | 65.5% (35.8%) 1,2,4 | 27.8% (31.8%) 1, 3 |

Subscripts indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) between profiles, based on the profile number indicated by the subscript. All covariates listed in Table 1 were included in the models. Sample size (n) for each profile is based on most likely class membership; however, distal outcome models were estimated using a model‐based approach.
