Of the 11,737 individuals with AUD in our sample, 58% (N=6,734) met the criteria for AUD without mood or anxiety disorder comorbidity, and 42% (N=5,003) additionally met the DSM-IV criteria for at least one mood or anxiety disorder. The majority of participants with AUD without mood or anxiety comorbidity were male, 40 years old or older, white, had an income greater or equal to $35,000, lived in an urban environment, had a high school diploma or more advanced schooling, were married or lived with a partner, and had health insurance. Individuals with AUD with comorbid mood or anxiety disorders were more likely than those without such comorbidity to be female, to be widowed, divorced or separated, to have no health insurance, to meet the criteria for a personality disorder, for comorbid non-alcohol drug use disorders, and to meet the criteria for alcohol dependence rather than only abuse. Those with comorbid mood or anxiety disorders were also less likely to be age 50 years or older, to be non-Hispanic black or Hispanic, and to have an income greater than $20,000 per year (data not shown).
