Abstract
Introduction. Alcohol consumption ranks in 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.
Objectives. 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.
Material and Methods. A systematic search will be performed in Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, ?ndexRMP, LILACS, African Journals Online and Scielo databases, together 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.
Discussion. 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.
Conclusion. 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.
Introdu??o. O consumo de ¨¢lcool ¨¦ um importante fator de risco modific¨¢vel. V¨¢rias organiza??es internacionais recomendam a utiliza??o do Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test para identificar consumidores excessivos de ¨¢lcool. No entanto, n?o parece haver uma vers?o totalmente validada deste question¨¢rio em portugu¨ºs.
Objetivo. Identificar vers?es validadas do Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test em portugu¨ºs, problemas e solu??es na sua aplica??o, e pontos de corte para identificar consumidores excessivos.
Material e M¨¦todos. Ser¨¢ realizada uma revis?o sistem¨¢tica da literatura nas bases Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, ?ndexRMP, LILACS, African Journals Online e Scielo, bem como na literatura cinzenta, por estudos de valida??o do AUDIT em portugu¨ºs. Dois autores extrair?o informa??o, e avaliar?o a qualidade dos estudos selecionados, de forma independente, utilizando as grelhas QUADAS-2 e CASP.
Discuss?o. Esta revis?o ir¨¢ comparar estudos de valida??o do Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test em portugu¨ºs e reportar, se descrito, propriedades psicom¨¦tricas, caracter¨ªsticas de desempenho, pontos de corte sugeridos, limita??es e sugest?es documentadas. Os resultados poder?o ser importantes para propor uma revis?o da guideline portuguesa sobre o rastreio e interven??es breves nos consumidores de ¨¢lcool. Por outro lado, os resultados poder?o ser utilizados para apoiar a implementa??o do rastreio do consumo de ¨¢lcool na pr¨¢tica cl¨ªnica em Portugal e noutros pa¨ªses de l¨ªngua oficial portuguesa.
Conclus?o. Esta revis?o ir¨¢ fornecer informa??o relevante sobre a validade do Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test como m¨¦todo de rastreio do consumo excessivo de ¨¢lcool em Portugal e noutros pa¨ªses de l¨ªngua oficial portuguesa.
