Overview

Screening

Screening tools include the

  • Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) is a simple ten-question test developed by the World Health Organization to determine if a person's alcohol consumption may be harmful[1].
    • Questions 1-3 deal with alcohol consumption
    • Questions 4-6 relate to alcohol dependence and
    • Questions 7-10 consider alcohol-related problems.
    • A score of 8 or more in men (7 in women) indicates a strong likelihood of hazardous or harmful alcohol consumption.
    • A score of 13 or more is suggestive of alcohol related harm.
  • and the CAGE screening test.
  • Revised Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment for Alcohol (CIWA-Ar) is the most appropriate tool to evaluate alcohol withdrawal severity[2][3].
