Sample characteristics by gender are summarized in Table 2. All chi-square analyses that were performed to examine gender differences in sample characteristics were significant at p < 0.0001, except for age (p = 0.07), DSM-5 OUD (p = 0.10), and stress (p = 0.65). New, remitted, and ongoing cases of AUD, TUD, and CUD were each more prevalent in men compared to women. Women were more likely to report having an absent AUD, TUD, and CUD.
