Table 2.
Impaired control over drinking (ICQ) and severity of alcohol dependence (SADQ total) as well as trait and state anxiety. Values given in mean (standard deviation)
| Variable | Controls (n = 31) | SDTx (n = 17) | MDTx (n = 12) | Statistical analysis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ICQ | N/A | 11.2 (2.6) | 12.7 (1.4) | t(27) = −1.56, P = 0.090 |
| Total SADQ | N/A | 33.1 (14.3) | 46.8 (6.4) | t(23.7) = −3.48, P = 0.002 |
| State anxiety (STAI)a | 30.2 (7.6) | 38.8 (9.9) | 39.7 (14.2) | F(2,59) = 6.35, P < 0.01 |
| Trait anxiety (STAI)a | 36.6 (9.8) | 50.6 (10.3) | 46.3 (12.1) | F(2,59) = 10.82, P < 0.001 |

Significant difference between controls and patients (Ps < 0.01), but not SDTx and MDTx P > 0.268. MDTx = multiple detoxification group; N/A = not applicable; SDTx = single detoxification group; STAI = state trait anxiety inventory.
