Previous data from the NESARC estimates the prevalence of lifetime AD to be 17.4% among men and 8.0% among women (Hasin et al., 2007). Table 1 shows that men with lifetime AD were significantly more likely than women to be foreign-born, aged 45 or older, to have a high school education or less, to have an income >$20,000, and to be uninsured. Men with AD were less likely than women to be unemployed, and widowed, separated, or divorced.
