“…In a reliability generalization analysis of studies that appeared in 2000 or before, Shields and Caruso (2003) calculated a median reliability of 0.81, with a range of 0.59 to 0.91. Our examination of 18 studies published since 2002 (Bergman and Kallmen, 2002;Bischof et al, 2005;Carey et al, 2003;Chung et al, 2002;Gache et al, 2005;Gomez et al, 2005;Kelly et al, 2002Kelly et al, , 2004Kokotailo et al, 2004;Leonardson et al, 2005;Lima et al, 2005;Neumann et al, 2004;O'Hare et al, 2004;Pal et al, 2004;Rumpf et al, 2002;Selin, 2003;Shields et al, 2004;Tsai et al, 2005), yielded a comparable median reliability coefficient of 0.83, with a range of 0.75 to 0.97.…”

“…We were able to locate studies done in Brazil, France, Germany, India, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Eleven studies (Bergman and Kallmen, 2002;Bischof et al, 2005;Carey et al, 2003;Gache et al, 2005;Gomez et al, 2005;Lima et al, 2005;Neumann et al, 2004;Pal et al, 2004;Rumpf et al, 2002;Selin, 2003;Tsai et al, 2005) examined internal reliability coefficients of the translated AUDIT and the derived coefficients varied from 0.75 to 0.94, with a median value of 0.82. Non-English versions of the AUDIT to date have consistently shown acceptable reliabilities.…”

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.

“…When alcohol-related questions are asked in sequence, patients tend to underreport their drinking and problems on questions asked later in the interviews. 29 Third, although the AUDADIS is a validated measure, the comparison standard for risky drinking has not been validated, and the questions were similar to the AUDIT-C questions, which might overestimate the ability of the AUDIT-C to detect alcohol misuse. Fourth, this study included a single primary care clinic in South Texas, potentially limiting generalizability.…”

“…The AUDIT has been translated into several languages for use in various countries. Literature contains references to translations in Nigeria (Adewuya, 2005); India (Carey, Carey, & Chandra, 2003;Pal, Jena, & Yadav, 2004); Spain (Gómez et al, 2005;Pérula et al, 2005); Brazil (Lima et al, 2005), Switzerland (Bergman & Källmén 2002;Selin, 2003); China (Chen, Chen, & Cheng, 2004, 2005Tsai, Tsai, Chen, & Liu, 2005); Germany (Bischof et al, 2005;Dybek et al, 2006;Neumann et al, 2009;Rumpf et al, 2003); Vietnam (Giang, Spak, Dzung, & Allebeck, 2005) and France (Gache et al, 2005). Nonetheless, only a small number of studies have addressed the validity, reliability and factorial structure of these non-English versions.…”

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.
