A two question asessment?

From Alcohol, Other Drugs, and Health: Current Evidence:
  • Among subjects in the developmental sample, 2 criteria*—recurrent drinking in physically hazardous situations and drinking more or for longer than intended—had a sensitivity of 96% and a specificity of 85% for current alcohol use disorders.
  • Among all subjects in the 3 validation samples, the criteria had a sensitivity of 72% to 94% and a specificity of 80% to 95%.
