Text

The history of AUDs in parents and grandparents was gathered from the FH Assessment Module (FHAM) interviews with a specificity of 98%, and a positive predictive value of ~ 50% (Rice et al., 1995). FH is a manifest variable with a score of 1 for each alcoholic parent and 0.5 for each grandparent with an AUD.
