Abstract

Sons of alcoholic parentage, adopted in infancy, were compared with their brothers who were raised by the alcoholic parent. Both the adopted and nonadopted sons had high rates of alcoholism (25% and 17%, respectively), but the difference was not statistically significant. The two groups also had comparable frequency of alcohol problems. The nonadopted sons differed from the adopted sons in age (older) and belonging to a lower socioeconomic class. Length of exposure to the alcoholic parent was not associated with the development of alcoholism. However, severity of the parent's alcoholism, as inferred by number of hospitalizations, was positively related to alcoholism in the offspring. The results suggested that environmental factors contributed little, if anything, to the development of alcoholism in sons of severe alcoholics, in this sample.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
