It is recommended a score of ≥3 or more points on the AUDIT-C, or a report of drinking 6 or more drinks on one occasion ever in the last year, should lead to a more detailed assessment of drinking and related problems (ie completion of the full questionnaire). Using a cutoff of ≥3, AUDIT-C identifies 90% of patients with active alcohol abuse or dependence and 98% of patients with heavy drinking, (specificity was only 60%, false-positive rate 40%). Using a cutoff ≥4 the Audit-C has a sensitivity of 86% of patients with heavy drinking and/or active alcohol abuse or dependence with a specificity of 72%. AUDIT-C (shortened form)The AUDIT-C is a shortened version of the above using the first 3 questions only.
