“…Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) ranges from .80 (Kane, Loxton, Staiger, & Dawe, 2004) to .94 (Pal, Jena, & Yadav, 2004) and test-retest reliabilities range from r =.87 over one week (Rubin et al, 2006) to r =.93-.95 over four weeks (Bergman & Källmén, 2002;Dybek et al, 2006). An assessment of convergent validity of total and factor scores against the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test established correlations ranging as high as .97 (Pal et al, 2004).…”

“…Four recent studies have done so. Three of these (Dybek et al, 2006;Selin, 2003;and Rubin et al, 2006) were conducted with general population samples and reported ks of 0.70, 0.86, and 0.89, respectively, at the standard cut-point of 8. Dybek et al (2006) also reported a k of 0.81 at a cut point of 5.…”

“…Rubin et al (2006) derived a coefficient of 0.87 among 102 participants from the general U.S. population who were screened by telephone 1 week apart. Bergman and Kallmen (2002) reported an interclass correlation of 0.93 among 61 participants from the general population in Sweden who responded by mail about 3 to 4 weeks after initial screening.…”

“…We discovered a small number of studies on web-based administration of the AUDIT (Kypri et al, 2004;Lieberman, 2003Lieberman, , 2005Saitz et al, 2004) and a single study that considered a computerized automated telephone screening (Rubin et al, 2006). These new technologies were well-received by study participants and hold promise for reaching a broader population for alcohol screening, alcohol education, and brief intervention.…”

Background: The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) has been extensively researched to determine its capability to accurately and practically screen for alcohol problems.Methods: During the 5 years since our previous review of the literature, a large number of additional studies have been published on the AUDIT, abbreviated versions of it, its psychometric properties, and the applicability of the AUDIT for a diverse array of populations. The current article summarizes new findings and integrates them with results of previous research. It also suggests some issues that we believe are particularly in need of further study.Results: A growing body of research evidence supports the criterion validity of English version of the AUDIT as a screen for alcohol dependence as well as for less severe alcohol problems. Nevertheless, the cut-points for effective detection of hazardous drinking as well as identification of alcohol dependence or harmful use in women need to be lowered from the originally recommended value of 8 points. The AUDIT-C, the most popular short version of the AUDIT consisting solely of its 3 consumption items, is approximately equal in accuracy to the full AUDIT. Psychometric properties of the AUDIT, such as test-retest reliability and internal consistency, are quite favorable. Continued research is urged to establish the psychometric properties of non-English versions of the AUDIT, use of the AUDIT with adolescents and with older adults, and selective inclusion of alcohol biomarkers with the AUDIT in some instances.Conclusions: Research continues to support use of the AUDIT as a means of screening for the spectrum of alcohol use disorders in various settings and with diverse populations.

“…(Reinert & Allen, 2007). The measure has good to excellent temporal stability with testretest reliabilities for general population samples ranging from r =.87 over a one week time period (Rubin et al, 2006) to r =0.93 and 0.95 over a one month time period (Bergman & Källmén, 2002;Dybek et al, 2006). Adequate criterion validity has also been established with sensitivity for alcohol misuse diagnoses across primary care samples ranging from 0.60 to 0.95 and specificity ranging from 0.84 to 0.96 at the cut off score of 8 (Berner, Kriston, Bentele & Harter, 2007).…”
