Dry January: Alcohol Awareness Resources on iPad

As we are amid the national annual Dry January campaign, it’s a good time to update your CPD on alcohol awareness.  

MDCalc app on the iPads has the following useful tools for assessing alcohol intake: 

• AUDIT-C: a three-item alcohol screen that can help identify people who are hazardous drinkers or have active alcohol use disorders 

• CAGE questions: a four question screening tool for excessive drinking and alcoholism  
• CIWA-Ar: 10 item assessment tool to objectively screen alcohol withdrawal symptoms 

If you don’t already have an MDCalc account, you can sign up for free on the MDCalc website or via the MDCalc app. Just tap the app icon, shown below, on the iPad and follow the onscreen instructions.  

You can visit the Alcohol Change website for more information on Dry January.
