SCORE
Note to provider
The above questionnaire contains four validated basic screening surveys to detect the possible presence of alcohol
abuse, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Based on the literature, the threshold “positive” scores
are as follows:
Audit-C
Males ≥4, Females ≥3
GAD-2
≥3
PHQ-2
≥ 3
PC-PTSD 5
≥3
If you are examining a Commissioned Corps officer who has any of the screens “positive”, we ask that you address it in
whichever way that you feel is professionally appropriate. Please document your discussion with the officer (DD-2807 or
equivalent) and any further recommended evaluation or treatment (DD-2808 or equivalent). Please acknowledge that you
have reviewed this form.
