Additional variables were included in the multivariable regression analysis to adjust the association of probands’ with relatives’ AUD/remission status for important correlates of remission. These included demographics (age at most recent interview, female sex [versus male], self-reported ethnicity [African American versus European American and Other), maximum lifetime AUD criterion count (range 2–11), conduct disorder criterion count (range 0–15 conduct disorder criteria with occurrence before age 15), lifetime history of major depressive disorder, history of professional treatment for alcohol problems, and self-help group (e.g., Alcoholics Anonymous) attendance. A dummy variable coded 1 for related proband-relative pairs and 0 for unrelated pairs was also included.
