Both maternal (Table 2) and paternal (Table 3) alcoholism were associated with significantly higher prevalences of every axis I and axis II disorder examined compared to those without such a parental history. Prevalence of any axis I disorder was 73% higher (67.93% versus 39.22%) in the maternal alcoholism group (versus no maternal alcoholism) and 63% higher (59.07% versus 36.32%) in the paternal alcohol group (versus no paternal alcoholism). Prevalence of any axis II disorder was 138% higher (32.32% versus 13.57%) in the maternal alcoholism group and 103% higher (24.58% versus 12.13%) in the paternal alcohol group.
