“…Drawing on the work of Dolman 6 and Reoux, 7 we concluded, similar to the Christiana authors, that the AUDIT instrument had potential as a reliable screening Published online November 6, 2013 tool that could determine those at risk for alcohol withdrawal. Dolman demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity of the entire AUDIT scale in an unselected medical population, but had used the entire ten-question instrument to screen all patients, a practice that may be impractical for more universal application.…”

“…It is remarkable that, despite the numerous limitations of self-reported data, the subjective responses by our study subjects correlated significantly and congruently with several objective biological measures of cardiometabolic health. Although self-reported behavioral data are often described as "soft" data, congruent associations with objective measures have frequently been reported (30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36). For example, alcohol abuse screening questionnaire responses are associated with biological measures of alcohol withdrawal symptoms (30), self-reported smoking status is highly correlated with circulating cotinine levels (31), and dietary and physical activity habits have been shown to predict obesity and cardiometabolic risks (32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37).…”

The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) is an instrument used to screen for alcohol-related problems. It has been increasingly used in many different countries in both the original English-language version and its many translated versions. Because of the need for screening instruments of faster administration, shortened versions of the AUDIT have also been developed. This study was aimed at expanding the work by Berner and colleagues (2007) in an attempt to answer some remaining questions as well as to identify and evaluate studies on the validation of modified versions of the AUDIT, which have not been previously analyzed. In order to do so, we identified indexed articles published between 2002 and 2009 related to the psychometric qualities of the AUDIT by matching the keywords: alcohol, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, and AUDIT. We found 47 articles that evaluated the AUDIT in different countries and in diverse health and community contexts, involving adolescent, adult, and elderly samples. The studies confirmed the validity and efficiency of the AUDIT in the identification of harmful use, abuse, and dependence of alcohol, both in the original version and in modified ones. The possibility of using brief and efficient versions is of great value, since certain health contexts demand faster assessment. The results also showed that the reduced versions have satisfactory psychometric qualities, sometimes with sensitivity values higher than those of the AUDIT itself. The studies analyzed confirm the efficiency of the AUDIT both in its original, reduced, and language-adapted versions in different contexts and cultures.

Combining the Audit Questionnaire and Biochemical Markers to Assess Alcohol Use and Risk of Alcohol Withdrawal in Medical Inpatients

Abstract: These findings confirm that AUDIT is a useful alcohol screen in general medical settings and that its ability to correctly predict which patients will experience alcohol withdrawal is increased when used in combination with biological markers.
