The CAGE questionnaire, the name of which is an acronym of its four questions, is a widely used screening test for problem drinking and potential alcohol problems.The questionnaire takes less than one minute to administer, [1] and is often used in primary care or other general settings as a quick screening tool rather than as an in-depth interview for those who have alcoholism.
Questions 1 to 3 ask about consumption of alcohol (frequency, quantity or typical drinking occasions, and consumption likely to cause impairment); Possible dependence on alcohol (Questions 4 to 6), and; Harmful alcohol use, including concern expressed by others (Questions 7 to 10).
The evaluation was created by Raistrick D. S., Dunbar G., and Davidson R. J. in 1983. The evaluation is aimed at adults who have a mild to moderate dependence on alcohol and are seeking help. [1] The SADD was designed to be quick, with it being a 15 item questionnaire that may be self administered or administered through a structured interview. [1]
