The SADD was designed to be quick, with it being a 15 item questionnaire that may be self administered or administered through a structured interview. [1] The items on the evaluation ask about the drinking habits of the patient as well as the physical and mental effects of their drinking. Each item is scored on a scale of 0 to 3, giving the evaluation a range of 0 to 45. A score of 1-9 is indicative of a low dependence on alcohol, a score of 10-19 is indicative of a moderate dependence on alcohol, and a score of 20 or greater is indicative of a high dependence on alcohol.
