Analyses were conducted separately among individuals with AUD with and without mood or anxiety comorbidity. Among individuals with AUD without comorbid mood or anxiety disorders, those who perceived an unmet need for alcohol treatment were more likely than those who did not perceive such need or did not seek treatment to be in the 40–49 years age range, to have a personality disorder, and to have alcohol dependence compared to alcohol abuse; but less likely to make $70,000+ per year (Tables 1 and 2). Also, among individuals with AUD without comorbid mood or anxiety disorders, those who sought treatment were less likely to be female, to make $35,000+ annually, and to have more than a high school education, but were more likely to be in the 30+ years age group, to be widowed, divorced, or separated, to have a personality disorder, to meet the criteria for alcohol dependence vs. abuse, and to have a comorbid non-alcohol drug-use disorder (Tables 1 and 2). Similar patterns with minor differences were observed in participants with AUD with comorbid mood or anxiety disorders.
