AAs were younger than EAs (mean 58 vs. 66 years; p<0.001) and less likely to be male (87% vs. 94%; p<0.001) (Table 1). AAs were also more likely than EAs to have an age-adjusted mean AUDIT-C score below 2 (65% vs. 55%; p<0.001) and to be assigned to the lowest AUDIT-C trajectory characterized by infrequent drinking (38% vs. 27%; p<0.001). However, AAs were much more likely to receive an AUD diagnosis (31% vs. 14%; p<0.001).
