Dr. Boschloo and her colleagues suggested an interesting point regarding our analyses of the association between self-medication and persistence of alcohol dependence using data from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC) 1. As Boschloo and colleagues noted, in our definition of persistent alcohol dependence, we included individuals with lifetime dependence with or without 12-month dependence at baseline and assessed the association between drinking self-medication among this group with alcohol dependence at follow-up. The association of self-medication drinking with alcohol dependence at wave 2 (follow-up) may vary depending on whether or not the participant had 12-month (current) alcohol dependence at baseline.We assessed this query by conducting additional analyses from the NESARC sample we described in our article. The sample for these analyses included the 1547 drinkers with lifetime alcohol dependence who reported mood symptoms at baseline, provided information regarding using alcohol to self-medicate their symptoms and were reinterviewed at follow-up. All analyses took into account NESARC survey weights and other design elements. Analyses were further adjusted by propensity scores using inverse probability of treatment weighting as described in our article. We conducted stratified
