The past-year co-occurrence of AUDs and NMUPD was more prevalent among young adults 18-24 years of age than individuals 25 years and older. More than one in every four young adults aged 18-24 years who met the criteria for past-year DSM-IV alcohol dependence also reported past-year NMUPD. These findings suggest that the treatment for AUDs shou...Continue Reading
