This report presents national estimates of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Edition, Revised (DSM-III-R) alcohol abuse and dependence among 24- to 31-year-olds using the 1989 National Longitudinal Survey on Youth (NLSY). Population estimates derived from the 1989 NLSY are also compared with corresponding estimates from the 1988 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). The 1-year prevalence of alcohol abuse and dependence was 13.95% in the 1989 NLSY. In general, rates of abuse and dependence were greater for men than for women and slightly declined with age. Although the prevalence of abuse was much greater among whites compared to blacks or Hispanics, the rates for dependence among Hispanics and whites exceeded those for their black counterparts. The rates of abuse and dependence were strikingly similar between the 1989 NLSY and 1988 NHIS, providing evidence for the population validity or generalizability of the diagnostic measures. |
