Summary

The AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) is a validated 10-item screening instrument developed by the World Health Organization. It covers three domains: alcohol consumption (Q1–Q3), dependence symptoms (Q4–Q6), and alcohol-related harm (Q7–Q10). Scores range from 0 to 40 — higher scores indicate greater risk. This tool presents all 10 questions on a single page so you can review and adjust your answers freely before submitting.

How it works

  2. Questions 1–8 are scored 0–4; questions 9 and 10 are scored 0, 2, or 4.
  3. Click "Calculate Score" once you have answered all 10 questions.
  4. Your total score (0–40) is displayed alongside one of four risk zones: Low Risk, Hazardous Use, Harmful Use, or Possible Dependence.
  5. If your score is elevated, review the guidance and consider speaking with a healthcare professional.
