This paper describes the correlates of DSM-III-R alcohol dependence in a general population and in a treatment sample. The frequency of drinking 5 or more drinks per occasion is the only significant predictor of alcohol dependence in the general population. This indicator of drinking plus being unemployed are the predictors of alcohol dependence in the treatment sample. Severity of dependence (as assessed by the number of dependence indicators reported) in the general population sample is positively associated with the frequency of drinking 5 or more drinks, with being younger, being unmarried and being a male. In the treatment sample the correlates are the frequency of drinking 5 or more drinks, being unemployed and being older. These results suggest that alcohol dependent individuals in the treatment sample are more severely dependent and more socially marginal than their counterparts in the general population.
本文描述了一般人群和治疗样本中与《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版修订版（DSM-III-R）酒精依赖相关的因素。在一般人群中，每次饮用5杯或更多酒的频率是酒精依赖的唯一显著预测因素。在治疗样本中，这种饮酒指标加上失业是酒精依赖的预测因素。一般人群样本中的依赖严重程度（通过报告的依赖指标数量评估）与每次饮用5杯或更多酒的频率、年龄较小、未婚和男性呈正相关。在治疗样本中，相关因素是每次饮用5杯或更多酒的频率、失业和年龄较大。这些结果表明，治疗样本中的酒精依赖个体比一般人群中的个体依赖程度更严重，社会边缘化程度更高。
