Descriptive statistics for demographics, help-seeking behaviors, and treatment utilization were calculated separately by generation. Between-generation differences were tested by regressing generation on the variable of interest in multinomial logistic regressions, with baby boomers as referent. Planned post-hoc Wald tests were used to assess generational differences in help-seeking and treatment utilization. Age was included in all tests since younger generations by definition had accumulated less time to seek help or receive treatment for alcohol problems, to get married or divorced, or to further their education. Tetrachoric correlations between the main outcome variables (help-seeking and treatment utilization) were calculated.
