Genetic analyses of maternal and teacher ratings on attention problems in 7-year-old Dutch twins.

abstract：:A wealth of literature suggests that normative and heavy alcohol consumption continue to follow a historical pattern of greater prevalence among males as compared to females. Some prior research suggested that sex-specific factors might explain some of this gender gap. Generally speaking, though, more recent studies h...
