Descriptive characteristics of the analytic sample are displayed in Table 1. Briefly, the average age of participants was 51; 62% were women, 16% self-identified as Black, and 8% self-identified as Hispanic (not mutually exclusive categories). Differences in characteristics of each analytic group as a function of past AUD history are depicted in Table 1. Individuals without a history of AUD were more likely to be women and Black and had less severe alcohol-related history and other substance use, compared to individuals with a history of AUD (symptomatic or in remission) and were younger compared only to abstinent individuals in remission from AUD.
