What Is the AUDIT Alcohol Screen?
The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) is a 10-item WHO screening tool for hazardous drinking, harmful use, and possible dependence. It evaluates consumption, loss-of-control symptoms, and alcohol-related harm over the past year. For a shorter screen, see the AUDIT-C Calculator or Addiction Calculator.
How the Test Is Scored
Questions 1–8 are scored 0–4; questions 9 and 10 are scored 0, 2, or 4. Consumption is the sum of questions 1–3, dependence is questions 4–6, and problems are questions 9–10. If you never drink, or had no drinks and no binge episodes, questions 4–8 are skipped.
Interpreting the Total Score
Low risk is 0–7 for men and 0–6 for women. Scores of 8–15 (men) or 7–15 (women) suggest hazardous use. Scores of 16–19 indicate harmful use, and scores of 20 or above suggest possible dependence. Any dependence subscore of 4 or more, or any points on the problems subscore, warrants clinical follow-up.
Frequently Asked Questions
When are questions 4–8 skipped?
Questions 4–8 are skipped when you answer "Never" to question 1, or when both question 2 and question 3 score zero, indicating no alcohol consumption in the past year.
What does the dependence subscore mean?
Questions 4–6 assess symptoms such as inability to stop drinking, morning drinking, and failed obligations. A subscore of 4 or more is alarming and suggests possible alcohol dependence.
What does the problems subscore mean?
Questions 9 and 10 cover injuries and concerns raised by others. Any points in this section indicate current harmful drinking that requires further investigation.
Is the AUDIT a diagnosis?
No. AUDIT is a screening instrument. Diagnosis and treatment planning require a full clinical assessment by a qualified healthcare provider.
What should I do with a high AUDIT score?
Talk with your doctor or an addiction specialist. At high scores, stopping alcohol abruptly can cause withdrawal, so seek medical guidance before making major changes.
