  2. Each answer is assigned a numeric value from 0 to 4.
  3. Your total score is calculated automatically after the final question.
  4. The score is mapped to one of four risk zones: low risk, hazardous use, harmful use, or possible dependence.
  5. Review the interpretation and, if indicated, consider speaking with a healthcare professional.
