Modeling of the pre-spray neurobehavioral performance. The figure depicts the coefficients (β) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) obtained from the multivariate quantile regression analysis performed on each neurobehavioral variable as a function of the exposure group (RG, EE or OE) and a set of sociodemographic covariables (age, alcohol consumption (g/day), study (years) and sex (male – female). For the categorical variables “exposure group” and “sex” the reference in the model was RG and female respectively. Only those coefficients that resulted significant in each model are showed (i.e. their 95 CI’s do not include zero). The scoring of those neurobehavioral variables denoted with a psi symbol (ψ) must be considered inversely-related to the individual performance, this is, higher scores denoted worse performances
