Scored feedback on drinking risk. Not a stand-alone alcohol use disorder diagnosis.
How clinicians use it
An interactive 10-item AUDIT self-test that screens alcohol consumption, drinking patterns, and alcohol-related problems. Scores prompt feedback and, when elevated, advice about health implications. Designed for self-assessment and clinical screening, not a stand-alone diagnosis of alcohol use disorder. Positive or concerning results warrant clinical follow-up and further assessment.
