The National Epidemiologic Study of Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC) (Grant et al., 2004b).
The number of subjects presented is unweighted to allow assessment of subgroup sample sizes.
Percentages were weighted and standard errors corrected for the NESARC's complex sampling design using SUDAAN.
Individuals meeting DSM-IV diagnoses for disorders in the 12 months prior to their interview were considered to have active disorders. Mood disorders included major depression, dysthymia, and mania/hypomania. Anxiety disorders included generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, social phobia, and specific phobia. Substance use disorders included abuse and/or dependence for alcohol, marijuana, amphetamines, opioids, sedatives, tranquilizers, cocaine, inhalants, hallucinogens, heroin, and other drugs.
