AUDIT-C/AUDIT Calculator (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test)
What is the calculator for and who produced it?
The AUDIT-C and AUDIT calculators are designed to screen patients for problems with alcohol. They were developed by the World Health Organisation to screen patients with the aim of identifiying patients at risk of dependence and therefore a risk of a range of harmful consequences.
How should it be used?
Users can undertake brief screening with AUDIT-C which consists of 3 questions. If the AUDIT-C score is 5 or more the full AUDIT questionnaire should be completed.
Interpretation of score
The AUDIT score has the following interpretation:
- 0 to 7 indicates low risk
- 8 to 15 indicates increasing risk
- 16 to 19 indicates higher risk
- 20 or more indicates possible dependence
Your local area will likely have support services for patients who have a high risk of harmful consequences of alcohol which you should be able to either refer or signpost patients to.
