Although women generally have been subjects of alcohol research less often than men, gender can be used as a defining characteristic in subtyping schemes. Whether the sexes actually differ in aspects of their alcoholism, such as in etiology and degree of severity, however, is not known. Analyzing a sample of male and female alcoholics using several different statistical methods, the researchers found that men and women with either a severe or mild form of alcoholism differed little in their character profiles and etiologies. Women and men with moderately severe alcoholism, however, tended to differ with respect to co-occurring psychopathologies (e.g., depression or antisocial personality) and the degree to which they drank to relieve other conditions (e.g., boredom). These findings suggest that different forms of alcoholism treatment may be most effective for men and women with moderately severe alcoholism. However, as is the case with any subtyping scheme, this conclusion cannot be applied to the general population without further research.
