This dudit calculator takes the figures you already have and applies the relationship behind dudit calculations for you, giving dudit score from 1\. how often do you use drugs other than alcohol?, 10\. have you or anyone else ever been hurt (mentally or physically) because you used drugs?, 11\. has a relative, a friend, a doctor, a nurse, or anyone else ever been worried about your drug use, or told you that you should stop using drugs?, 2\. do you use more than one type of drug on the same occasion?, 3\. on days that you take drugs, how many times do you typically take them?, 4\. how often are you influenced heavily by drugs?, 5\. over the past year, have you felt that your longing for drugs was so strong that you couldn’t resist it?, 6\. over the past year, has it happened that you started taking drugs and were then unable to stop?, 7\. how often over the past year have you taken drugs and then neglected to do something you should have done?, 8\. over the past year, how often have you needed to take a drug the morning after heavy drug use the day before?, 9\. over the past year, how often have you felt guilty or had a bad conscience because you used drugs? and one way.
What Is the DUDIT Calculator?
The dudit calculator gives you an estimate of dudit score based on 1\. how often do you use drugs other than alcohol?, 10\. have you or anyone else ever been hurt (mentally or physically) because you used drugs?, 11\. has a relative, a friend, a doctor, a nurse, or anyone else ever been worried about your drug use, or told you that you should stop using drugs?, 2\. do you use more than one type of drug on the same occasion?, 3\. on days that you take drugs, how many times do you typically take them?, 4\. how often are you influenced heavily by drugs?, 5\. over the past year, have you felt that your longing for drugs was so strong that you couldn’t resist it?, 6\. over the past year, has it happened that you started taking drugs and were then unable to stop?, 7\. how often over the past year have you taken drugs and then neglected to do something you should have done?, 8\. over the past year, how often have you needed to take a drug the morning after heavy drug use the day before?, 9\. over the past year, how often have you felt guilty or had a bad conscience because you used drugs? and one way.
It is a quick reference figure rather than a diagnosis, and it is most useful for tracking how a number moves over time rather than for interpreting a single reading.
How the DUDIT Estimate Is Worked Out
The calculation follows published reference relationships, so it is a reasonable approximation when the inputs are accurate. It assumes an average adult and does not account for individual variation.
If you are comparing two people, or the same person over a period of weeks, keep the method and the inputs identical. A change in the method can easily look like a change in the person.
What This Calculator Does Not Do
It does not diagnose anything, and it does not replace advice from a clinician. If a figure comes out at an extreme, or if it differs sharply from what you expect, that is a reason to speak to a professional rather than to adjust the inputs.

A Worked Example
Working through an example, with 1\. how often do you use drugs other than alcohol? set to 0, 10\. have you or anyone else ever been hurt (mentally or physically) because you used drugs? set to 0, 11\. has a relative, a friend, a doctor, a nurse, or anyone else ever been worried about your drug use, or told you that you should stop using drugs? set to 0, the calculator returns dudit score of 0. Substitute your own figures and the same steps produce the same kind of answer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to work out dudit score?
Enter 1\. how often do you use drugs other than alcohol?, 10\. have you or anyone else ever been hurt (mentally or physically) because you used drugs?, 11\. has a relative, a friend, a doctor, a nurse, or anyone else ever been worried about your drug use, or told you that you should stop using drugs?, 2\. do you use more than one type of drug on the same occasion?, 3\. on days that you take drugs, how many times do you typically take them?, 4\. how often are you influenced heavily by drugs?, 5\. over the past year, have you felt that your longing for drugs was so strong that you couldn’t resist it?, 6\. over the past year, has it happened that you started taking drugs and were then unable to stop?, 7\. how often over the past year have you taken drugs and then neglected to do something you should have done?, 8\. over the past year, how often have you needed to take a drug the morning after heavy drug use the day before?, 9\. over the past year, how often have you felt guilty or had a bad conscience because you used drugs? and one way. The calculator then works through the relationship and reports dudit score.
What does the dudit actually calculate?
It takes 1\. how often do you use drugs other than alcohol?, 10\. have you or anyone else ever been hurt (mentally or physically) because you used drugs?, 11\. has a relative, a friend, a doctor, a nurse, or anyone else ever been worried about your drug use, or told you that you should stop using drugs?, 2\. do you use more than one type of drug on the same occasion?, 3\. on days that you take drugs, how many times do you typically take them?, 4\. how often are you influenced heavily by drugs?, 5\. over the past year, have you felt that your longing for drugs was so strong that you couldn’t resist it?, 6\. over the past year, has it happened that you started taking drugs and were then unable to stop?, 7\. how often over the past year have you taken drugs and then neglected to do something you should have done?, 8\. over the past year, how often have you needed to take a drug the morning after heavy drug use the day before?, 9\. over the past year, how often have you felt guilty or had a bad conscience because you used drugs? and one way and converts them into dudit score using the standard relationship for this problem. Each step is applied in turn, so every output is traceable back to the numbers you typed in.
How should I enter 1\. how often do you use drugs other than alcohol??
Use the value you actually have, in the unit shown next to the field. Enter every value in the same unit system. The calculator assumes the figures you supply are consistent, so it cannot correct a mistake that happens before the calculation starts.
Do I have to fill in every field?
Only the fields a particular result depends on. If you leave one blank, the results that need it simply show a note instead of a number, and everything else still works.
Does anything you type get stored?
No. The whole calculation runs inside your browser, and nothing you enter is uploaded, logged or sent anywhere.
