The Alcohol Use Inventory (AUI) provides a basis for describing different ways in which individuals use alcohol, the benefits they derive from such use, the negative consequences associated with its use, and the degree of concern individuals express about the use of alcohol and its consequences.
How to Use This Test
This test can be used by psychologists, social workers, drug and alcohol counselors, and general practitioners to help:
-
Differentiate drinking styles and develop individual treatment plans
-
Provide an objective assessment of alcohol-related problem
-
Identify treatment-relevant classification of alcohol abusers based on DSM-IV® classifications
Key Features
The AUI test's multidimensional approach can help the substance-abuse professional tailor a treatment plan to a client’s specific problem.
The self-report format of the AUI test enables substance-abuse professionals to compare an individual's perceptions about his or her use of alcohol with the interviewer's perceptions and those of family members and others.
