abstract="BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To assess the impact of gender-tailored alcohol screening criteria. <br><br>METHODS: Among N = 1,349 women, we calculated the proportion screening positive for unhealthy alcohol use with non-tailored versus gender-tailored criteria (a gender-tailored binge-drinking item, lower screen-positive threshold, or both). <br><br>RESULTS: Three percent more women screened positive with a modified binge-drinking question, most reporting risky drinking. Fifteen percent more women screened positive with a lower threshold; most did not report risky drinking. <br><br>DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: Gender-tailored binge-drinking questions may improve detection of women's unhealthy alcohol use. SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: These results can inform future efforts to improve alcohol screening for women.
