UNCOPE Questions for Concerned Others to Screen for an Alcohol or Drug Abuse Problem*
The UNCOPE screening test, consists of six questions found in existing instruments and assorted research reports. This excellent screen test was first reported by Hoffmann and colleagues in 1999. The six questions provide a simple and quick means of identifying whether the person you are concerned about is at risk for abuse or dependence for alcohol and other drugs. Take the screening test and circle a “yes” or “no” at the end of each of the questions. Answer the questions to the best of your knowledge. You may find it interesting, comforting and necessary to have others in your support network take this screening test as well. It almost always will result in interesting discussion among those who take it because each person may have observed different drinking and drug use behaviors over the past year. The scoring of the screening test is found at the end of the six questions.
