Among individuals classified with baseline past-year alcohol dependence, 5.4% were positive for AR and 5.5% were positive for NR in the year preceding the 3-year follow-up interview (Table 1). The few potential correlates of recovery that had significant (p<.05) bivariate associations with recovery were marital status (highest rates of recovery among the divorced and separated, p=.009), recent initiation of first marriage (positively associated with NR, p=.044), employment status (job problems negatively associated with AR; job problems and unemployment positively associated with NR, p=.005), religiosity (AR positively associated with frequency of religious service attendance; rates of NR highest at intermediate frequencies, p=.016), smoking (negatively associated with AR and NR, p=.008), illicit DUD (negatively associated with NR, p=.006) and number of past-year AUD symptoms (highest levels of AR at highest severity levels; highest rates of NR at moderate severity levels, p=.045).
