AB  - Screening and brief intervention (SBI) for unhealthy alcohol use is recommended 
      as a routine clinical procedure for adults in primary care settings. However, 
      implementation of SBI remains suboptimal, in part reflecting time constraints in 
      clinical settings. Single Item Screening Questions (SISQ) have increasingly been 
      studied as a means of minimizing assessment burden. Although the ability of SISQ 
      to accurately detect unhealthy alcohol use (i.e., at-risk drinking or alcohol use 
      disorder) has been studied in various clinical and population settings, results 
      have not been summarized in aggregate. This descriptive summarizes SISQ 
      performance metrics across various clinical settings and populations. Based on 
      results from 40 identified studies, there is consistent support that SISQ have 
      good sensitivity as screeners for unhealthy drinking, with performance generally 
      being comparable to longer validated instruments. Collectively, these results 
      justify further efforts to evaluate SISQ as a means of maximizing SBI uptake and 
      efficiency in various clinical settings.
