Women (but not men) who were remitted low-risk drinkers were more likely than women with persistent AUD to have had a first child between the baseline and follow-up interviews (26.8% and 7.4%, respectively). The women who had a first child were significantly younger than those who did not (age at baseline, M (min, max) = 23.8 (18, 36) and 33.1 (18, 55), t(80) = 4.6, p < .001). Compared to individuals with persistent AUD, remitted low-risk drinkers also had fewer lifetime AUD symptoms, fewer years from AUD onset to recency, were less likely to be current drug users and more likely to have remitted from drug use more than 5 years ago, and were less likely to have remitted from nicotine habitual use or dependence within the last 5 years. The associations of stable and new marriage, religious attendance, and family support with remitted low-risk drinking were non-significant in the multivariate model.
