North American (community samples)

- 47.7 % of those with DrugUD had at least one PD
Percentage of population with a PD also with addictive disorder
- 16.4% had a current alcohol use disorder
- 6.5% had a current SUD
Community Samples tell us:
- If you meet a random person with a PD, there is a fair (but not huge) chance they’ll also have an addiction or two.
- If you meet a random person with Addiction, there’s a good chance they’ll also have a PD or two.
