Chunk #22 — 3. Results — 3.2 Survival Analyses — 3.2.3 Time to Progression from Initiation of Drinking to Alcohol Dependence: Race/ethnicity and Sex Differences
The survival curves for the lag period between initiation of drinking and development of alcohol dependence are presented in Figure 3. For both men and women, Whites had a lower survival probability suggesting a higher rate and a faster transition from drinking onset to alcohol dependence than both Blacks and Hispanics (men: logrank χ2 = 53.97, p < 0.001; women: logrank χ2 = 46.66, p < 0.001). Additionally, Hispanic women had a lower survival probability than Black women (logrank χ2 = 9.00, p < 0.003).
