| AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) | "The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) has been developed from a six-country WHO collaborative project as a screening instrument for hazardous and harmful alcohol consumption. It is a 10-item questionnaire which covers the domains of alcohol consumption, drinking behaviour, and alcohol-related problems." "Questions 1-3 measure alcohol consumption, 4-6 drinking behaviour, 7-8 adverse reactions and 9-10 alcohol-related problems." The minimum score (for non-drinkers) is 0 and the maximum possible score is 40. A score of 8 or more indicates a strong likelihood of hazardous or harmful alcohol consumption. | Saunders, J. B., Aasland, O. G., Babor, T. F., de la Fuente, J. R., & Grant, M. (1993).

| Alcohol Timeline Followback (TLFB) | The Alcohol TLFB is a drinking assessment method that obtains estimates of daily drinking. "Using a calendar, people provide retrospective estimates of their daily drinking over a specified time period that can vary up to 12 months from the interview date.

| Measures of Non-Adherence to HIV Treatment | "The Brief Substance Abuse History, a structured, interviewer-administered form, was adapted from the Drug History Form (National Institute on Drug Abuse, 1993), and queried whether the participant had ever used a list of commonly abused substances including nicotine, alcohol, amphetamines, cocaine, heroin or opioids, hallucinogens, marijuana, drug combinations, and other drugs. In each case, when the participant had ever used/tried a substance, a series of branching questions was used to determine the extent and frequency of use and number of days used in the past 30 days. Additionally, participants answered whether they considered themselves to have a 'primary drug' or 'drug of choice' and whether any drug was causing them problems or had in the past. They also completed a checklist of treatment experiences as applicable." | Ingersoll, K. (2004). The impact of psychiatric symptoms, drug use, and medication regimen on non-adherence to HIV treatment. AIDS Care, 16(2), 199-211. |
