a
Consists of participants that reported past year alcohol use. AUDIT Risk groups include dichotomous representation of Low (0–7), Hazardous/harmful (8–15) and High (16+) Risk groups where Hazardous and High Risk groups are combined.
b
Degrees of freedom (df) account for test of equality of variances (using Satterthwaite when equality of variances assumption is violated); therefore, some df include fractional values.
