HED: Respondent is a heavy episodic drinker – consumes five or more alcoholic drinks in a day at least monthly
a
Pooled across country-level estimates via the DerSimonian-Laird method of two-stage inverse-variance random-effects meta-analysis using individual participant data
n/a: not available – equivalent variable could not be derived
b
An arithmetic mean was computed for this cell as zero values were not able to be included in the DerSimonian-Laird method of meta-analysis.
