Tests of direct effects of gender on AUD criteria in the sample as a whole, adjusted for the underlying severity factor, found that women were less likely than men to report social/interpersonal problems (OR = 0.49, 95 % CI = 0.39 – 0.62) and were more likely to report drinking larger amounts than intended or for longer periods of time (OR = 1.32, 95 % CI = 1.09 – 1.61), spending so much time drinking or recovering that there was little time for anything else (OR = 1.38, 95 % CI = 1.08 – 1.76), and continued drinking despite physical or psychological problems (OR = 1.33, 95 % CI = 1.05 – 1.69). In tests evaluating direct effects of number of DUIs on AUD criteria, only the social/interpersonal problems criterion showed differential reporting by number of DUIs. Individuals with 2 (OR = 1.53, 95 % CI = 0.67 – 2.39) and 3 or more DUIs (OR = 1.88, 95 % CI = 0.81 – 2.95) did not differ in rates of endorsement (X2 (1) = 0.45, p = 0.50) but
