Table 1 displays the rates of AD by non-assaultive and assaultive trauma status separately for those who met criteria for PTSD and those who did not (and also for women who did not report any traumatic experiences). As expected, a greater proportion of women with versus without lifetime PTSD diagnoses were alcohol dependent: one in three compared to only one in nine. Rates of AD did not differ significantly by non-assaultive versus assaultive trauma status among women with PTSD (although this finding should be interpreted with caution, given the low prevalence of PTSD in women who experienced only non-assaultive trauma). However, increasing rates of AD from no trauma (7.3%) to non-assaultive trauma (12.4 %) to assaultive trauma (16.4%) were observed in women without PTSD [χ2(2)=59.3, p<0.001].
