Discuss differences in the AUDIT tool and the AUDIT-C tool.
Briefly, what are pros and cons of using AUDIT-C vs. full AUDIT instrument?
·
In order to evaluate alcohol consumption and spot risky drinking, the World Health Organization created the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) is a 10-item questionnaire designed to assess alcohol use disorder symptoms and severity. Reliability, validity, and efficacy of the AUDIT in identifying alcohol use problems across populations have all been established.
· The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT)-C is a brief, three-item variant of the full AUDIT instrument. The AUDIT-C asks about alcohol intake on three separate occasions: how often, how much, and how often one engages in binge drinking. The AUDIT-C is a brief assessment instrument, while the complete AUDIT is utilized for more in-depth evaluation and diagnosis.
· The AUDIT-C is a condensed version of the complete AUDIT, making it more manageable in busy primary care settings. Also, it is less prone to rater bias and simpler to administer and grade than the complete AUDIT. Reliability, validity, and effectiveness of the AUDIT-C in detecting alcohol usage across populations have all been established.
