of 45 women consisted of 24 FHP and 21 FHN women. In the present study, FHP women had a confirmed paternal history of alcoholism (those with a maternal history of alcoholism were excluded) and FHN women had no first-degree family history of alcoholism or substance abuse. Lastly, in light of the baseline dysphoric mood changes observed previously in FHP women compared to FHN women, the third objective was to determine if there were any interactions between family history status and menstrual cycle phase on mood.
