cannabis before alcohol use (Sartor et al., 2013). Additionally, the finding that paternal alcohol problems trended toward association with AUD in EA, but not AA, women could be an indicator of lower paternal impact on behaviors in the AA versus EA community. Because ascertainment in the MOFAM sample was based on father’s alcohol-related behaviors, which were controlled for in the analyses, we also conducted analyses using MOAFTS data only and found the same pattern that was observed with the combined sample. Lastly, increased hazard for AUD was revealed for maternal alcohol problems, conduct disorder, and regular smoking in both AAs and EAs, highlighting shared risk factors for AUD across race.
