Chunk #7 — 1. Introduction — 1.4 Gender differences in associations of internalizing and externalizing psychopathology with expression and course of alcohol dependence
Few studies have examined gender variation in the association of internalizing and externalizing psychopathology with the expression of alcohol dependence. Among alcohol dependent individuals participating in the Collaborative Studies on the Genetics of Alcoholism, Schuckit et al. (1995) found no gender differences in the multiple clinical dimensions used to classify Type A-Type B alcoholics or in other clinical characteristics. However, they did not formally test for interactions between gender and subtype; nor was this done in the initial study defining the Type A-Type B typology (Babor et al., 1992).
