description

Abstract This chapter provides an updated vision of the contexts in which the psychometric viability of the AUDIT has been evaluated during this century. This has permitted the identification of why, where, and how this screening method, as well as its most well-known abridged version (the AUDIT-C), is being used in different socio-sanitary areas. Throughout the chapter, appropriate recommendations are offered for all professionals wishing to use these instruments, while also pointing out potential future research lines.
