The survival curves for onset of dependence are shown in Figure 2, again with panel “A” depicting survival for men and panel “B” for women. Among men, Whites had a lower survival probability consistent with an earlier onset and higher rate of alcohol dependence when compared to both Blacks (logrank χ2 = 76.75, p < 0.001) and Hispanics (logrank χ2=91.93, p <0.001). There were no differences between Black and Hispanic men (p = 0.315). Similarly, White women had a lower survival probability than Black and Hispanic women, respectively (Blacks: logrank χ2= 159.05, p < 0.001; Hispanic: logrank χ2=108.20, p < 0.001). Additionally, Hispanic women had lower survival probability than Black women (logrank χ2 = 8.84, p = 0.003).
