Notes: Chi-square test with Bonferroni-type adjustment using Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID) algorithm. DSM-IV = Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition; depend. = dependence; pos. = positive; neg. = negative.
Weighted percentages given in table; total percentage of last-12-month DSM-IV alcohol dependence among men drinkers: 6.0%; equivalent alcohol use disorder total: 20.0%;
count is of symptoms in each of 7 DSM-IV domains (pos.: only for those positive for dependence; neg.: only for those negative for dependence); ccount is of 7 dependence domains and 4 abuse domains (pos.: only for those positive for abuse or dependence; neg.: only for those negative for abuse or dependence).
