for social/interpersonal problems and larger/longer among individuals without DUIs were similar to those observed in a population-based sample (Saha et al., 2006), with social/interpersonal problems having a higher threshold and larger/longer having a lower threshold among women. The lack of gender differences in the DUI group suggests that gender differences are minimized in more severely affected samples. This is consistent with a study in a high-risk sample of women and men enrolled in a domestic violence program which found that items in the alcohol dependence scale showed no DCF by gender (Kahler et al., 2003).
