About the AUDIT
The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) was developed by the World Health Organization as a simple screening method for excessive drinking. It is the world's most widely used alcohol screening instrument, validated across many countries and populations.
The AUDIT helps identify hazardous drinking, harmful drinking, and possible alcohol dependence. Early identification allows for brief interventions that can reduce alcohol-related harm before serious consequences develop.
