Background
The CAGE Alcohol Questionnaire (CAGE) is a short psychological screening tool used to identify possible alcohol-related problems.
The assessment looks at feelings about drinking, reactions from other people, guilt related to alcohol use, and dependence-related behavior.
The CAGE is widely used in healthcare and mental health settings because it provides a quick and simple way to screen for risky alcohol use and possible alcohol dependence.
Higher scores may suggest unhealthy drinking habits, alcohol misuse, or alcohol-related difficulties that may need further professional evaluation.
Procedure
You will be presented with 4 questions about alcohol use and drinking behavior.
Read each question carefully and choose either “Yes” or “No” based on your personal experiences.
Please answer honestly according to your usual behavior and feelings related to alcohol.
Participation
This assessment is intended for adults who are able to understand and honestly answer questions about their alcohol use and behavior.
Participation is voluntary. Responses are anonymous and intended for educational, self-awareness, and research-related purposes only.
Higher scores may reflect problematic alcohol use, emotional concerns related to drinking, or possible alcohol dependence.
