“…Lundin, Hallgren, Balliu, and Forsell (2015) found the optimal cutoff for AD was ≥ 6 for both men and women in a sample of the general population in Sweden. A cut score of 5 was found to be most appropriate for identifying alcohol abuse in Malaysia (Yee, Adlan, Rashid, Habil, & Kamali, 2015) and AUDs and/or at-risk consumption (with the exception of AD) in an outpatient population in Northern Germany (Dybek et al, 2006). In a validation study of a Nepali version of the AUDIT (N = 1,068), Pradhan et al (2012) suggest a cutoff value of 11 for AD for both men and women.…”

Aims: Since it was first released in 1989, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) has generated a large amount of research to evaluate its psychometric properties. The purpose of this review is to critically evaluate the literature relevant to applications of the AUDIT in screening, brief intervention, and treatment referral programs, and identify national adaptations of the AUDIT to country-specific health, education, and reimbursement needs. Methods:Methods comprised a search of the world literature published since 2004, combined with review articles published since 1997. Findings:We identified 431 studies of the AUDIT, including 386 articles, 26 review papers, and 11 book chapters since 2004, with a six-fold increase in the last decade. The factor structure of the AUDIT items remains unclear, but the weight of evidence supports a two-factor model. Despite the translation of the AUDIT into numerous languages, the alcohol consumption questions were rarely adapted to suit cultural or national conditions. Although numerous studies have supported the recommended cutoff thresholds for a possible alcohol use disorder, only three studies evaluated the classification accuracy of the AUDIT's graded severity system. Conclusions:Further development of the AUDIT score's severity zones is needed to guide intervention selection in clinical settings.

“…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).…”

Background and Purpose-As stroke in young adults is assumed to have different etiologies and risk factors than in older populations, the aim of this study was to examine the contribution of established potentially modifiable cardiovascular risk factors to the burden of stroke in young adults. Methods-A German nationwide case-control study based on patients enrolled in the SIFAP1 study (Stroke In Young Fabry Patients) 2007 to 2010 and controls from the population-based GEDA study (German Health Update) 2009 to 2010 was performed. Cases were 2125 consecutive patients aged 18 to 55 years with acute first-ever stroke from 26 clinical stroke centers; controls (age-and sex-matched, n=8500, without previous stroke) were from a nationwide community sample. Adjusted population-attributable risks of 8 risk factors (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, smoking, heavy episodic alcohol consumption, low physical activity, and obesity) and their combinations for all stroke, ischemic stroke, and primary intracerebral hemorrhage were calculated. Results-Low physical activity and hypertension were the most important risk factors, accounting for 59.7% (95% confidence interval, 56.3-63.2) and 27.1% (95% confidence interval, 23.6-30.6) of all strokes, respectively. All 8 risk factors combined explained 78.9% (95% confidence interval, 76.3-81.4) of all strokes. Population-attributable risks of all risk factors were similar for all ischemic stroke subtypes. Population-attributable risks of most risk factors were higher in older age groups and in men. Conclusions-Modifiable risk factors previously established in older populations also account for a large part of stroke in younger adults, with 4 risk factors explaining almost 80% of stroke risk.
