For dependence, PS adjustments produced large reductions in racial/ethnic disparities above and beyond weighting on heavy drinking alone, with coefficient sizes dropping by 81% for Blacks and 90% for Latinos in samples including all drinkers. Fully weighted samples showed no significant racial/ethnic disparities in dependence counts at any drinking level. Models for consequence counts also showed notable reductions in racial/ethnic disparities, such as reductions of 44% in the Black-White coefficient and 68% in the Latino-White coefficient in the full samples.
