Table 1 shows the relationship between AA and subsequent (lagged) alcohol use (PDA; DDD) among outpatient and aftercare patients. As anticipated, there were consistent associations between more frequent AA attendance during months 0-3 and less frequent, and less intense, alcohol use at 12-15 month follow-up. Among the covariates examined, age had a negative association with PDA among outpatients with younger adults drinking more frequently than older adults (b = -.0044, p < .0001). In the aftercare sample, a greater number of prior treatments was associated with more intensive drinking (DDD; b = .1775, p < .001).
