Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test
This form is a digital self-screening tool designed to help individuals gauge their patterns of alcohol consumption and identify potential risks associated with alcohol dependency. The assessment covers drinking frequency, typical volume, instances of heavy episodic drinking, feelings of guilt, and alcohol-related injuries or social concerns.
- Scoring Metrics: Questions 1 through 8 are scored on a scale of 0 to 4 based on frequency , while questions 9 and 10 carry specific values of 0, 2, or 4.
- Interpretation: A total score of 8 or more is strongly associated with harmful or hazardous drinking habits. Scores reaching 13 or more for women, and 15 or more for men, indicate a high likelihood of alcohol dependence.
