Table 2 Percentage of heavy drinking and frequency of binge drinking at one and six months follow-up by condition (WDYD intervention versus control): intention-to-treat analyses (multiple imputation) (N = 609) and completers-only analyses (n = 280) adjusted for clustering and covariates (i.e., gender and education level)

From: The effectiveness of a web-based brief alcohol intervention in reducing heavy drinking among adolescents aged 15–20 years with a low educational background: a two-arm parallel group cluster randomized controlled trial
