Fisher's exact tests were used to compare rates of diagnoses between: i) female control and alcohol groups, and ii) male control and alcohol groups. The p-values for these comparisons are reported in the Control vs. Alcohol columns. Statistically significant comparisons are highlighted in bold. Abbreviations: MDD = major depressive disorder, PTSD = post-traumatic stress disorder, GAD = generalized anxiety disorder
