Table 2 shows the relationships between AA attendance and the four network support/activity variables. Consistent across aftercare and outpatient participants, greater AA attendance was associated with increases in pro-abstinent network ties and in abstinent activities as well as decreases in pro-drinking network ties and drinking activities at 9 months after controlling for baseline covariates. There was one interaction detected among aftercare patients. Specifically, high AA attendance (i.e., attending AA three or more times per week) during months 0-3 increased 9m abstinent activities more (mean difference = 1.39) for patients who had very low levels of abstinent activities at intake, but did not significantly increase abstinent activities for those already high in abstinent activities at intake (mean difference = 0.08; t = -2.62, p =. 009). Among the covariates examined, a greater number of prior treatments was associated with a reduced 9-month pro-drinking network among outpatients. Also among outpatients, males had significantly more drinking activities (b = -.2996, p < .001) and fewer abstinent activities (b = .3438, p < .01) than females. In addition, unmarried status was associated with more drinking activities among outpatients (b = .2841, p < .001).
