Note. AUDIT = Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. CUDIT = Cannabis Use Disorder Identification Test. Values are unstandardized regression coefficients. All models were estimated controlling for age at baseline, race/ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and relationship duration at baseline. Relationship quality = latent variable indicated by scores on the four-item source-specific Social Provisions Scale and the Relationship Quality subscale of the Relationship Assessment Scale. Significant interaction effects were probed by examining effects at one standard deviation above the mean (i.e., high relationship quality) and one standard deviation below the mean (i.e., low relationship quality). Statistically significant associations (p < .05) are in bold.
