The primary independent variable was baseline readiness to reduce alcohol consumption. Outcomes included binge drinking episodes in the past 28\u00a0days and average weekly drinks, assessed at baseline and 1-, 6-, and 12-month follow-ups. Alcohol severity was measured via the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test scores, with gender and language preference (English vs Spanish) as covariates. Generalized linear mixed models in SAS accounted for within-subject variability across time points for analysis.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Binge drinking ratios comparing those \u201cmore ready\u201d to cut down to those \u201cless ready\u201d were 0.61 at 1\u00a0month [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.42, 0.90; P\u00a0=\u2009.013], 0.46 at 6\u00a0months (95% CI: 0.31, 0.69; P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u2009.0001), and 0.61 at 12\u00a0months (95% CI: 0.41, 0.89; P\u00a0=\u2009.011).
