interpersonal assets that could be leveraged to initiate and sustain recovery (Vilsaint et al., 2017). In addition, participants completed the 12-item Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, which assessed perceived general support from family, friends, and a significant other (Dahlem et al., 1991, Zimet et al., 1990). Participants responded to both scales using five-point Likert-type responses (strongly disagree to strongly agree) with higher scores indicating greater levels of recovery capital and social support, respectively. We examined several additional sociodemographic variables that may be associated with mild relapse: age (18–29 years; 30–44 years; 45–59 years; ≥60 years); race/ethnicity (White, non-Hispanic; Black, non-Hispanic; Hispanic, any race; multiple or other races); educational attainment (less than high school; high school diploma; some college; Bachelor’s degree or higher); employment status (employed full- or part-time; unemployed; out of the labor force); and relationship status (married or cohabitating; formerly married; never married). In addition, we calculated participants’ poverty status based on self-reported household size and income following 2020 federal guidelines (e.g., $26,200 for a family of four in the contiguous US and District of Columbia; (Department of Health and Human Services, 2020).
