Table 3.

Correlation estimates and standard errors for the intercept and slope parameters from bivariate latent growth models of alcohol behavior (alcohol QF, heavy drinking, AUD Symptoms) and impulsivity risk factors (lack of planning, general sensation seeking, alcohol enhancement expectancies).
