| M (SD) | M (SD) | M (SD) | ||
| Control | 2.48 (1.04) | 2.16 (1.20) | 2.23 (1.02) |
F (1.9,201.4) = 5.09; p < 0.01 |
| AUD Edu | 2.45 (0.93) | 2.27 (0.99) | 2.41 (0.80) | F (2,206) = 2.55; p = 0.08 |

2.82 (0.96) | 2.78 (0.99) | 2.67 (0.95) | F (2,220) = 2.22; p = 0.11 |
Four items were included to assess understanding of each PRS. Items were scored as correct or incorrect and summed to create a sum score for each scenario. Range = 0–4. PRS, polygenic risk score.
