Overview
The AUDIT-C is a 3-item alcohol screen that can help identify persons who are hazardous
drinkers or have active alcohol use disorders (including alcohol abuse or dependence). The
AUDIT-C is a modified version of the 10 question AUDIT instrument.
Clinical Utility
The AUDIT-C is a brief alcohol screen that reliably identifies patients who are hazardous
drinkers or have active alcohol use disorders.
Scoring
The AUDIT-C is scored on a scale of 0-12.
Each AUDIT-C question has 5 answer choices.
Points allotted are: a = 0 points,
b = 1 point,
c = 2 points,
d = 3 points,
e = 4 points
In men, a score of 4 or more is considered positive,
In women, a score of 3 or more is considered positive (same as above).
A positive score is indicative of hazardous drinking or active alcohol use disorders.
However, when the points are all from Question #1 alone (#2 & #3 are zero),
it can be assumed that the patient is drinking below recommended limits and it is suggested
that the provider review the patient’s alcohol intake over the past few months to confirm
accuracy.
Generally, the higher the score, the more likely it is that the patient’s drinking is affecting his or
her safety.
