Davinder,

Discuss differences in the AUDIT tool and the AUDIT-C tool. 

The AUDIT tool stands for alcohol use disorders identification test and AUDIT- C stands for alcohol use disorders identification test-consumption. Both of these tools are designed to screened for alcohol use and to identify individuals who may be at higher risk of alcohol related problems however they differ in their scope and depth. The audit tool consists of 10 questions that cover 3 areas that are alcohol consumption, alcohol dependence, alcohol related problems. On the other hand, AUD IT-C tool is a shorter version of UD IT tool. This tool only has three questions and focuses only on alcohol consumption (Van Gils et al., 2021)
.

Since AUD IT-C scale is Shortened it takes then 2 minutes to conduct an assessment which makes it useful for quick testing in emergency situations and in primary care. EAUDIT scale is often used for comprehensive screening of alcohol that is used in wide range of settings that may include clinical and research and environment (Van Gils et al., 2021)
.

Briefly, what are pros and cons of using AUDIT-C vs. full AUDIT instrument?

As mentioned earlier AUD IT tool is comprehensive assessment that provides us with a better picture of and individuals alcohol use and what potential problems may be associated with the alcohol use. The AUD 82 also has the benefit of detecting risky drinking behaviors and alcohol dependence which could be negative and harmful behavior towards the patient. Given the AUDIT tool is comprehensive it could be used in variety of clinical and non-clinical situations. Because AUDIT 2 is comprehensive it takes longer to complete the assessment as compared to AUD IT-C to which typically takes 2 minutes compared to 10 minutes with AUDIT two. Due to comprehensive nature of the AUDIT tool the extended questions may be overwhelming for the patients (Van Gils et al., 2021)
.

The AUD IT-C tool is brief which gives it an advantage as it can be administered within two minutes to screen in situations such as emergency settings. The AUDIT tool has the potential to recognize risky drinking behaviors such as binge drinking or excessive alcohol consumption. The limitations of AUDIT-C are that it misses alcohol dependence and alcohol related harm due to its brief assessment. Another factor to consider is that AUDITC scale may often produce a false negative presentation of individuals with drinking problems (Van Gils et al., 2021)

Angelica,

Discuss differences in the AUDIT tool and the AUDIT-C tool.

The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test—Consumption (AUDIT-C) are screening tools for patients to help determine if they have an alcohol use disorder or dependence and are at risk for developing an alcohol use disorder. Both focus on frequency and quantity. AUDIT-C focuses on whether the drinking is hazardous and the severity of alcohol use and abuse. AUDIT consists of 10 questions that are asked to the patients to determine if they have an alcohol use disorder. AUDIT-C is a condensed, 3-question version of AUDIT. AUDIT scoring ranges from 0 to 40, with 0 to 7 points being low risk, 8 to 15 points being medium risk, 16 to 19 points being high risk, and 20 to 40 points being addition is likely. AUDIT-C scoring ranges from 0 to 12; age is a factor and varies from man to woman. For example, for men, 0 to 3 points is low risk, moderate risk is 4-5 points, high risk is 6-7 points, and severe risk is 8 to 12 points. Age is also considered, as men 29 and younger are considered in the 47th to 86th percentile based on their risks, whereas men 30 years old and older are in the 77th to 96th percentile (Franck et al., 2021).

Briefly, what are pros and cons of using AUDIT-C vs. full AUDIT instrument?

The benfits of AUDIT-C is that it is shorter, good predictor and more accurate of heavy drinking, and helps to better determine if a person will be hospitalized due to alcohol-related reasons, however, it is not as effective as AUDIT at detecting current alcohol dependence and abuse (Van Gils et al., 2021).
