Abstract
Accurately measuring cognitive impairment in patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) can make a huge difference for treatment, both in identifying patients at high risk for dropout and tailoring interventions to individuals' abilities. Newly published research suggests, however, that a popular screening tool designed to bypass the need for a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment falls short in detecting cognitive impairment in AUD.
