Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC) provides a better comparison for the present analysis (Saha et al., 2006). In contrast to the present study, the test information function in the NESARC analysis peaked at more severe AUD levels and did not tap the less severe range of AUD. This overall pattern is consistent with present findings for the age 26 and older group but less so for the 18–25 age group.
