Notes: OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; HG = high genetic; HE = high environmental; D = drug; G = genetic; E = environmental; LE = low environmental; MG = medium genetic; A = alcohol; LG = low genetic; ref. = reference.

a

P values for each group in the multifactorial model are compared with Group 7, the reference group;

b

DD: offspring risk due to twin or cotwin history of drug dependence with or without AD;

c

AD: offspring risk due to twin or cotwin history of alcohol dependence (without DD).
