Sex differences in the sources of genetic liability to alcohol abuse and dependence in a population-based sample of U.S. twins.

Alcoholism, clinical and experimental research - 1 Jul 1999

Prescott C A, Aggen S H, Kendler K S

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: There are substantial sex differences in all levels of alcohol involvement among U.S. adults. The goal of this study was to test whether the magnitude and sources of genetic and environmental influences on liability for alcohol abuse and dependence differ for men and women. METHODS: Structured personal interviews were used to assess DSM-III-R- and DSM-IV-defined alcohol abuse and dependence among 5091...
