Definition

  • In the late 1980s, the World Health Organization sponsored the development of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), a screening test for excessive alcohol consumption that has international applicability to countries with varying economic wealth and standards of living. The AUDIT was the outgrowth of a six, non-Asian country project, and its development and standardization involved approximately 2,000 primary care patients in Australia, Bulgaria, Kenya, Mexico, Norway, and the United States.
