This measure is a brief self-report screener designed to support early identification of potentially problematic alcohol use. The Questionnaire for Identifying Early Signs of Alcoholism helps structure discussion of drinking patterns and related behavioral changes that may warrant further clinical attention.
The instrument includes 35 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete. It is intended for use in preventive or clinical settings as an initial check of risk indicators rather than a standalone diagnostic assessment. Administration and interpretation should be integrated with clinical interview and other relevant sources of information.
Authorship is commonly cited as E. M. Jellinek and John R. Seeley. Results from the Questionnaire for Identifying Early Signs of Alcoholism can inform decisions about follow-up evaluation, brief intervention, or referral when responses suggest escalation in frequency, control, or consequences of alcohol use.
