Among other prospective studies of general population/community samples, Edens et al. (2008) found that women positive for AUD during both waves of the Epidemiological Catchment Area study in St. Louis were more likely than men to be dependent at the 14-year follow-up. The San Diego Prospective Study found that sustained remission from AUD at the 25-year follow-up was associated with lower drinking frequencies at years 1 and 10 and being divorced/separated at year 10 (Schuckit and Smith, 2011).
