SO202 Brief Oral Poster PresentationAddictionDiagnostic accuracy study # Diagnostic accuracy of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) in young adults attending general psychiatric outpatient clinics in Sweden DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY OF THE ALCOHOL USE DISORDERS IDENTIFICATION TEST (AUDIT) IN SWEDISH YOUNG ADULT OUTPATIENTS IN GENERAL PSYCHIATRY Presenter: Sofia Lenninger Country: Sweden Institution: Uppsala University, Department of Medical Sciences, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Unit Session: 3500 - PARALLEL SHORT ORAL POSTER SESSIONS: MISCELLANEOUS - Part III Date: Fri, 25.09.2026 The AUDIT is a valid and reliable screening tool for alcohol use disorder in young adult psychiatric outpatients, with an optimal cutoff score of 10. The study aimed to examine the diagnostic accuracy and psychometric properties of the AUDIT in young adult psychiatric outpatients. Two samples of individuals aged 18 to 25 from general psychiatric outpatient clinics in Sweden were used (2002–2003, n = 197; 2012–2016, n = 283); psychiatric diagnoses were established using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders, Clinician Version (SCID-I-CV), or the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI 6.0). Internal consistency, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV), ROC curves, and the area under the curve (AUC) were calculated. The internal consistency of the AUDIT was acceptable (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.76). In the combined sample, the optimal cutoff score was 10, with a sensitivity of 87%, specificity of 82%, PPV of 0.28, and NPV of 0.99. The optimal cutoff score was 9 in the 2002–2003 sample and 10 in the 2012–2016 sample. The reported AUC was 0.88 (95% confidence interval 0.81–0.95) in the combined sample, 81.1% (95% confidence interval 0.63–0.99) in the 2002–2003 sample, and 90.6% (95% confidence interval 0.85–0.96) in the 2012–2016 sample. In conclusion, the full version of the AUDIT is a reliable and valid screening tool for alcohol use disorders, as demonstrated in two young adult psychiatric samples collected a decade apart.
