  1. df = degrees of freedom; CI = confidence interval.
  2. Proportional hazards analysis was conducted using the forced entry method, with the first drinking occasion as a dependent variable.
  3. a Adjusted for adjustment factors (age, number of admissions to a psychiatry department, history of finger tremor, employment status, educational history, and history of illegal drug usage or abuse). Hazard ratio refers to a per-point increment in the score for expectancy and resignation.
  4. b Adjusted for adjustment factors in a. Hazard ratio refers to a per-point increment in the score for perception of impaired control.
  5. c Adjusted for adjustment factors in a. Hazard ratio refers to a per-point increment in the score for perception of drinking problems.
  6. d Adjusted for adjustment factors in a. Hazard ratio refers to a per-point increment in the total score.
