Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test

Who should be screened using the AUDIT-C?

Anyone aged 18 or older who consumes alcohol can be screened, especially in primary care, mental health, or hospital settings, to identify risky drinking behaviors early.

What should I do if a patient scores 5 or higher on the AUDIT-C?

A score of 5 or more suggests unhealthy alcohol use; follow up with a more detailed assessment, such as the full AUDIT, and consider brief intervention or referral if needed.

Is the AUDIT-C reliable for both men and women?

Yes, the AUDIT-C is validated for both men and women, but some guidelines use a lower cutoff for women (3+) due to differences in alcohol metabolism and risk.
