When a study considers gender, a different subtyping solution may be reached. To examine more fully the interaction between gender and the type A-type B distinction, Del Boca (1994) conducted several secondary analyses using the data set from the typology study reviewed earlier (i.e., Babor et al. 1992). Men and women within each subtype were first compared using the subtype classifications produced in the original study by Babor (Del Boca 1994). The results of these comparisons, summarized in table 1, show that the profiles of type B males and females are relatively similar, whereas women and men categorized as type A differ.
