“…Additionally, one other study used a cutoff score of C13 to identify ''heavy drinkers'' . The cutoff scores used in these studies are different from the cutoff value of 8 that is traditionally recommended to achieve high sensitivity and specificity in the detection of individuals at risk for an alcohol use disorder (Allen, Reinert, & Volk, 2001). It is unclear why these cutoff scores were used, and how the data may have differed if a lower score was used to discriminate individuals at risk or not at risk for an alcohol use disorder.…”

Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) contains 10% of the world's population and 60% of all people living with AIDS. Consequently, research investigating risk factors associated with HIV acquisition is a public health priority and one such risk factor is alcohol consumption. This article is a review of empirical studies on the association of alcohol and high-risk sexual behavior in SSA, with a focus on measurable outcomes generated from quantitative data. A critique of the literature is provided, with attention to methodological concerns. Empirically based theoretical orientations were used to interpret the reviewed research and to stimulate discussion about how to improve the state of the current literature. Based on this discussion, a model of alcohol and high-risk sexual behavior in an African context is proposed in order to integrate the existing literature and highlight areas in need of continued research.

“…A higher score meant that a participant perceived less cohesion and the Cronbach's alpha was 0.67 for women and 0.64 for men. Alcohol use was measured using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) Alcohol Screening Test; a cut-off point of eight indicated a drinking problem (Allen, Reinert and Volk 2001). All participants were asked if they had used any illicit drugs common to the study area including marijuana, benzene, mandrax or injection drugs.…”

Depressive symptoms were more highly prevalent in women than in men. Depressed mood was associated with childhood adversity, sexual violence and substance misuse in both women and men. This study further suggests gender differences in that for women, depressive symptoms were associated with intimate partner violence and lower perceptions of community cohesion, while for men the associations were with a mother's death and relationship conflict.

“…Participants' had a mean total score of 9.75 (SD=4.31) on the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (Allen et al 2001) with total scores ranging from 4 to 17. The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) contains ten items on an ordinal scale, with each item scored from 0-4.…”

“…The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) contains ten items on an ordinal scale, with each item scored from 0-4. A cutoff score of 8 has previously been used to identify people with alcohol problems (Allen et al 2001;Shields and Caruso 2003). In addition, the AUDIT contains two subscales: one measuring alcohol consumption (max score=12) and the other measuring alcohol dependence (max score=12).…”
