Relevant to Hypothesis 4, the univariate analyses in Table 2 indicated that at baseline Abstinent Group members had relatively high SRE5 and SRET values (low LRs), high maximum drinks per occasion, relatively lower usual drinks (especially in relation to the value for the Problem Drinking Group), a higher number of DSM AUD items endorsed, and were the most likely to have had histories of prior AUD treatments. These members of Group 4 reported using among the highest number of types of illicit drugs, were more likely than most other groups to carry a drug diagnosis, endorsed the highest number of DSM SUD criterion items, reported relatively high numbers of conduct problems, and had relatively high Sensation Seeking. Members of the Abstinent Group were also older and the most likely to have an EA heritage. In the regression analysis in Table 3 (Pseudo R2 =.22) Abstinent participants were predicted by baseline lower usual drinks, a higher number of alcohol problems, greater experience with prior AUD treatments, as well as older age and EA heritage.
