Given the lack of genetic influences on remission in men and the minimal influence in women, associations of several measured environmental variables with remission were examined individually in logistic regression equations, followed by a multiple logistic regression and controlling for gender and lifetime AUD symptom count. The variables examined individually were lifetime treatment for alcohol problems (yes/no, p=0.25), marital status (married versus never married/separated/divorced, p<0.01), lifetime pregnancy status (yes/no, p<0.01), number of biological children [one only (p<0.01) versus two or more (p<0.01) versus none], religion (any affiliation versus none, p=0.73), education (greater than high school versus high school or less, p=0.34), work status [full-time (p<0.01) versus homemaker (p<0.01) versus unemployed], trauma history [childhood physical/sexual abuse (p<0.05) versus severe physical assault (p<0.01) versus witnessing injury/killing (p<0.05) versus no trauma], not having a close relationship with parents when aged 6 to 13 (versus having a close relationship, p=0.38), lots of tension between parents when aged 6 to 13 (versus some or no tension, p=0.06), and parental alcohol problems (any versus none, p=0.27). Variables associated with remission in the multiple logistic regression were
