Alcohol Urge Questionnaire (AUQ)
The AUQ is an 8-item self-report instrument that measures the intensity of urges and desire to drink alcohol. Developed by Bohn, Krahn, and Staehler in 1995, it is designed to assess craving in individuals with alcohol use disorder who are abstaining or attempting to reduce drinking. The AUQ is a brief, validated tool useful in alcohol treatment and research settings to predict relapse risk and monitor treatment progress.
