Abstract

Iowa residents age 18 and older are prescreened with two questions about alcohol use and illegal drug or prescription misuse. Individuals receive full screening if they indicate any of the following occurring within the past year: Men up to age 65 report drinking five or more drinks in one day or over 14 drinks in one week. Women of any age and men over age 65 report drinking four or more drinks in one day or over seven drinks in one week. Any illegal drug use or prescription use for non-medical reasons by men or women of any age. SBIRT IOWA uses two instruments to conduct full screenings. The 10-question Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) screens for risky drinking and alcohol use disorders. The Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST-10) screens for hazardous use of illegal drugs and prescription drug misuse. The following table provides the recommended service associated with scores on the screening instruments.
