Among individuals with alcohol dependence, 91.5% of Whites, 86.4% of Blacks, 86.6% of Hispanics, 68.5% of NH/PI and 85.9% of AI/AN remitted at some time in their lifetime (log rank test= 1.9, p=0.8). Half of alcohol dependence remissions occurred approximately 14 years after dependence onset among Whites, 13 years among Blacks and Hispanics, 8 years after among NH/PI, and 15 years among AI/AN (Figure 3).
