  • Ns may not add up to 121 for responders and 120 for non-responders because of missing data. AUDIT scores restricted to only participants who had consumed alcohol in the previous month.

  • *Differences were explored using Mann-Whitney tests, with the exception of a Χ2 test to explore differences in age.

  • AUDIT, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test; CMD, common mental disorder; DAR-5, Five-item Dimensions of Anger Reactions–Revised; GHQ-12, 12-item General Health Questionnaire; PCL-5, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist; PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder.
