Note: In the comparisons among 1-year drinking outcome groups, RNA (coded as 0) was the referent. Quadrimesters are 4-month intervals during the postresolution year (Q1 = months 1–4; Q2 = months 5–8 ; Q3 = months 9–12). The associations between 1-year drinking outcome groups and dollar amounts spent during quadrimesters were obtained adjusting for covariates listed in the Data Analysis section.
