title: Alcohol-Use Disorders Identification Test: a comparison between paper and pencil and computerized versions.
abstract: The use of screening questionnaires to detect early problem drinking has been stimulated by the development of the AUDIT (Alcohol-Use Disorders Identification Test). A comparison of a computerized version of the test and its paper and pencil original was conducted on 110 consecutive attenders at an alcoholism day-treatment facility. The findings suggest that the computer version is as acceptable as the paper and pencil one and that scores on the two formats are comparable.
