Note. N = 377. Kappas based on unweighted estimates are shown below the diagonal; kappas based on weighted estimates are shown above the diagonal (note that these are all unweighted kappas, but the data are either weighted or not weighted by probability of group membership). AUD = DSM-III alcohol use disorder.
