The Use of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test
Consumption as an Indicator of Hazardous Alcohol Use among University Students
Hazardous drinking among students in higher education is a growing concern. The alcohol use disorders identification test (AUDIT) is the gold standard screening instrument for hazardous drinking in the adult population, for which an abbreviated version has been developed: the AUDIT-Consumption (AUDIT-C). Currently, there’s no gold standard for identifying hazardous drinking among students in higher education and little evidence regarding the concurrent validity of the AUDIT-C as a screening instrument for this group. This study investigated the concurrent validity of the AUDIT-C in a sample of university students and suggests the most appropriate cutoff points.
