Text

Adult AAD symptoms were drawn from wave 2. All items were assessed using DSM IV criteria. Only phenotypic data for subjects who had previously used alcohol were included. Of the 150 adult subjects with no dependence symptoms, 30.7% of them endorsed an abuse criterion. For standardization, the coefficients from the standardization of the adult AAD symptoms from the CADD community sample were applied to the GADD sample. For the analysis only standardized phenotypic data from the subjects assessed at wave 2 that were concurrently included in the GADD adolescent/young adult analyses of CD and AAD were analyzed. The analysis was performed on 873 subjects.
