Clinical screening tool From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Severity of Alcohol Dependence Questionnaire (SADQ or SAD-Q) is a 20 item clinical screening tool designed to measure the presence and level of alcohol dependence.[1]
It is divided into five sections:
Each item is scored on a 4-point scale, giving a possible range of 0 to 60. A score of over 30 indicates severe alcohol dependence.[3]
Some local clinical guidelines use the SADQ to predict the levels of medication needed during alcohol detoxification.[4]
