<P> The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test ( AUDIT ) is a ten - question test developed by a World Health Organization - sponsored collaborative project to determine if a person may be at risk for alcohol abuse problems . The test was designed to be used internationally , and was validated in a study drawing patients from six countries . Several research studies have found that the AUDIT screening tool is a reliable and valid measure in identifying alcohol abuse problem behaviors and it has been found to be a valid indicator for severity of alcohol dependence . There is some evidence that the AUDIT works in adolescents and young adults ; it appears less accurate in older adults . It appears well - suited for use with college students , and also with women and members of minority groups . </P>
