This project aims to develop a reliable, valid, and efficient computerized adaptive assessment of dimensional AUD mechanisms grounded in contemporary theory and informed by individuals with lived experience. It involves empirical testing of modern conceptual frameworks, item response theory calibration, and ecological momentary assessment to evaluate psychometric properties and validity of the developed measures, aligning with NIAAA's strategic goals to improve diagnosis and tracking of AUD.
