Alcohol consumption ranks among the top ten risk factors contributing to the global disease burden. Several international organizations recommend the use of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test to screen for at-risk drinkers. However, a fully validated Portuguese version of this test is lacking. The aim of this study is to systematically review validated versions of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test in the Portuguese language, the documented problems and solutions in its application and proposed cut-offs to identify at-risk drinkers.
A systematic search will be performed in Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, ÍndexRMP, LILACS, African Journals Online and SciELO databases, along with grey literature searches to identify validation studies of the AUDIT in Portuguese. Two authors will independently extract data and assess the studies' methodological quality, using QUADAS-2 and CASP checklists.
This review will compare different validation studies of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test in Portuguese-speaking countries, reporting, where possible, the psychometric properties, performance characteristics, suggested cut-offs and any documented limitations and suggestions. The results of this review could be used to propose an update of the alcohol screening and brief intervention guidelines in Portugal. The results could also prove useful to support the implementation of alcohol screening delivery by healthcare providers in Portugal and other official Portuguese-speaking countries.
This review will provide important information on the validity of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test as a screening tool for at-risk drinking in Portugal and other official Portuguese speaking countries.
饮酒是全球十大致病因素之一。一些国际组织建议使用酒精使用障碍识别测试（AUDIT）来筛查高危饮酒者。然而，目前缺乏经过充分验证的葡萄牙语版本。本研究旨在系统地回顾葡萄牙语版 AUDIT 的验证版本，以及在应用中记录的问题和解决方案，并提出用于识别高危饮酒者的截止值。
我们将在 Ovid MEDLINE、CINAHL、PsycINFO、ÍndexRMP、LILACS、非洲在线期刊和 SciELO 数据库中进行系统检索，并进行灰色文献检索，以确定 AUDIT 在葡萄牙语中的验证研究。两位作者将独立提取数据，并使用 QUADAS-2 和 CASP 清单评估研究的方法学质量。
本综述将比较葡萄牙语国家中不同的 AUDIT 验证研究，尽可能报告其心理测量特性、性能特征、建议的截止值以及任何记录的局限性和建议。该综述的结果可用于提出葡萄牙的酒精筛查和简短干预指南的更新。这些结果也可能有助于支持葡萄牙和其他官方葡萄牙语国家的医疗保健提供者实施酒精筛查服务。
本综述将提供关于 AUDIT 作为葡萄牙和其他官方葡萄牙语国家高危饮酒筛查工具的有效性的重要信息。
