The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT)
The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) is a screening tool developed by the World Health Organization to help identify individuals who may have alcohol-related problems. It consists of 10 questions about drinking habits, such as frequency and quantity of alcohol consumed, and related issues like cravings and behavior changes. Scoring helps determine the level of risk: low, moderate, or high concerning alcohol use disorders. AUDIT can be used by healthcare professionals to facilitate discussions about alcohol use and to guide recommendations for further support or intervention if needed.
