The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) as a Screening Tool for Excessive Drinking in Primary Care: Reliability and Validity of a French Version
“…In two studies that were performed in primary healthcare settings in Spain, the results were slightly lower for sensitivity (81.4% and 89.1%) and very close to ours as regards specificity (91.1% and 94.6%) (11,22). In one other similar study that was carried out in three Frenchspeaking areas, the results concerning detection of hazardous drinkers were lower than ours (AUDIT ]7 for males: sensitivity 83.5%, specificity 79.9%; AUDIT ]6 for females: sensitivity 81.2%, specificity 93.7%) (23).…”

“…Organisation [35] and designed to identify alcohol consumption risk have been tested and validated [36]. Gordon et al [28] has used this AUDIT-C questionnaire to identify drinkers with a level of risk in a large sample consumption in general practice.…”
“…Rumpf et al 31 assumem como ponto de corte para a população alemã ≥ 5, assim como Bischof et al 32 . Daeppen et al 33 , bem como Gache et al 34 , indicam o ponto de corte 6. Giang et al 35 encontraram 81,8% de sensibilidade e 76,1% de especificidade no ponto de corte ≥ 7, da mesma forma como sugerido no presente estudo (com 76,4% de sensibilidade e 75% de especificidade).…”

“…No estudo de Daeppen et al 33 , a área foi de 0,77. Bush et al 38 , registraram uma área de 0,81 sob a curva ROC, enquanto Gache et al 34 encontraram uma área de 0,91. Reinert & Allen 39 , revisando os estudos de validação do AUDIT, apontam que as áreas sob a curva ROC têm variado entre 0,74 e 0,99, de forma que a área encontrada no presente estudo encontra-se compatível com outros estudos de validação.…”
