This work explored the association between quality of life and drinking intensity in the Project MATCH sample. Tobit regression models were evaluated to assess the relationship between quality of life indicators (eg, measures of depression, adverse consequences, and others) and drinks per drinking day (DDD), and to assess modification or confounding of DDD by subject characteristics and treatment type. Each quality of life indicator improved with decreased DDD. Gender and ethnicity modified the DDD effect for some outcomes, with DDD exerting a greater influence on quality of life in women and non-Hispanic whites.
