Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is used to screen for alcohol-related problems and associated functional impairment. The Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) is a brief, structured self-report questionnaire intended to support initial clinical decision-making and determine whether further evaluation is indicated.
Developed by Selzer, M., it consists of 24 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Items assess consequences of alcohol use across common domains (e.g., interpersonal, occupational, legal, and health-related functioning). Results from the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) should be interpreted in the context of clinical interview findings and other available information, and are not intended to serve as a standalone diagnosis.
