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; n.a. = not applicable.

^aWeighted percentages given in table; total percentage of last-12-month DSM-IV alcohol dependence among women drinkers: 2.5%; equivalent alcohol use disorder total: 9.1%;

^bcount 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 and 4 abuse domains (pos.: only for those positive for abuse or dependence; neg.: only for those negative for abuse or dependence);

^dCHAID fails to split this volume category predicting dependence; this pattern split is based on significantly predicting abuse or dependence;

^eCHAID fails to split this volume category predicting dependence (p = .17); this pattern split is based on significantly predicting abuse or dependence.
