Note: Participants who did not drink alcohol at both timepoints (n = 67) were excluded from the regression models on alcohol use motives as these participants were not asked to report their motives for behaviors they did not engage in. The same applies to marijuana use motives (n = 307). Covariates (not shown) included sex, age at Time 1, dummy codes for race/ethnicity, and college student status. BH = Benjamini-Hochberg adjustment for multiple comparisons. Significant effects following adjustment are shown in bold.
