Low LR on heavier drinking operated partly through environmental mediators (e.g., selecting heavier drinking friends) and attitudes (e.g., positive alcohol expectancies) (Schuckit et al., 2011a, 2011b), while examples in SOTA videos focused on negative affect and impulsivity as risk factors as well. Results indicated that, while both Low and High LR subjects diminished drinking in both education groups, those with Low LR decreased quantities more when in the LRB educational protocol, and subjects with High LR demonstrated slightly better outcomes in a SOTA group.
