"Over a 3-month interval and at a cut-point of 3, test-retest reliabilities from .65 to .85 were observed by Bradley et al. (1998)." in Reinert, D. F., & Allen, J. P. (2002). The alcohol use disorders identification test (AUDIT): A review of recent research. Alcoholism-Clinical and Experimental Research, 26(2), 272-279.
