Alcohol Use Disorders (102) Alcohol industry and misinformation (11)

Thanks for surfacing this, Neil. I wonder what protocol the test is based upon? Since this test is open to the public, it should be based on public health recommendations and not on a protocol used by healthcare professionals to diagnose a substance use disorder. There is a big difference in tools or advice meant for the general public and a protocol used by physicians to diagnose a substance use disorder.
