Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AUDIT test and who developed it?

The AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) was developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1989. It is a 10-question screening tool designed to identify individuals whose alcohol consumption may be harmful. It is one of the most widely used and validated alcohol screening instruments worldwide.

What do the score ranges mean?

Scores of 0-7 indicate low risk. Scores of 8-15 suggest hazardous drinking where reducing consumption is advisable. Scores of 16-19 indicate harmful drinking where professional counseling is recommended. Scores of 20-40 suggest possible alcohol dependence requiring clinical evaluation.

Is this test a medical diagnosis?

No. The AUDIT is a self-screening tool, not a medical diagnosis. It helps identify potential alcohol-related problems and suggests when to seek professional help. Only a qualified healthcare professional can provide an official diagnosis. If your results concern you, consult a doctor or addiction specialist.
