Alcoholism Screening Questionnaire Test

addiction alcoholism addiction medicine

This screening measure is used to identify potential patterns of problematic alcohol use and determine whether additional assessment is warranted. The Alcoholism Screening Questionnaire is intended for brief, initial evaluation of alcohol-related concerns in clinical or community settings.

The instrument includes 22 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Items generally assess common behavioral and emotional indicators associated with alcohol misuse and related impairment. The Alcoholism Screening Questionnaire was developed by John E. Helzer and is best interpreted as a screening tool rather than a standalone diagnostic evaluation.
