WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

CAGE Questionnaire (CAGE) Test

addiction alcoholism addiction medicine drug addiction

This brief screening tool is used to identify potential alcohol-related problems in clinical and counseling settings. The CAGE Questionnaire (CAGE) focuses on four core indicators: attempts to cut down, annoyance at criticism, guilt about drinking, and using alcohol as an eye-opener.

Developed by Ewing, J., it consists of 4 items and typically takes about 1 minutes to complete. Results are interpreted as an initial indicator of possible alcohol use disorder risk and are intended to be integrated with clinical interview, collateral information when available, and additional assessment as needed.

The CAGE Questionnaire (CAGE) is commonly administered early in an evaluation to support triage decisions and to guide follow-up questions about alcohol use patterns, related consequences, and functional impairment.
