Our self-test uses the questions of the CUDIT-R (Cannabis Use Disorders Identification Test, Revised). It is an internationally used short test, developed in New Zealand and published in 2010.
The test has eight questions about your use over the last six months: two each on four areas: frequency and amount, problems caused by use, signs of dependence and psychological effects. Together, they add up to a maximum of 32 points.
- From 8 points, use is considered hazardous.
- From 12 points, there are signs of a possible use disorder. Then it makes sense to talk to a counselling service.
In the original study, the test identified 91 per cent of people with a use disorder and correctly classified 90 per cent of the others. Even so, it is an initial assessment, not a diagnosis, and does not replace counselling. Your answers stay in your browser. Nothing is stored except what you donate voluntarily and anonymously for our analysis after seeing your result.
Remember: The test shows whether a closer look is worthwhile. A conversation brings more clarity.
