In COGA AA, 29.49% of participants met criteria for 12-month remission, with similar proportions of abstinent and non-abstinent remission. No differences in PGSAUD between individuals with current AUD and those in 12-month, abstinent, and non-abstinent remission were observed, but the 12-month remission group compared to the current AUD group was younger, had a longer AUD duration, a higher AUD criterion count, a higher prevalence of family history of remission, and were more likely to have accessed both professional treatment and mutual help participation. AA abstinent participants compared to those with current AUD had a longer AUD duration, a higher criterion count and maxdrinks24, a higher prevalence of family history of remission, and were more likely to have accessed any treatment, mutual help only, and both professional and mutual help participation. The non-abstinent group compared to the current AUD group was younger, had a higher prevalence of family history of remission, and was equally likely to have accessed mutual help but less likely to have accessed both professional treatment and mutual help participation.
