The CAGE Questionnaire is a widely recognized, four-question screening tool designed for rapid assessment of potential alcohol problems. Developed for clinicians and healthcare professionals, it provides a quick, effective method to identify individuals who may have a dependency on alcohol or require further evaluation. Each question addresses specific aspects of alcohol use, such as cutting down, annoyance by criticism, guilty feelings, or needing an eye-opener. A score of two or more affirmative answers typically indicates a positive screen, suggesting the need for a more comprehensive diagnostic assessment. Its simplicity and high sensitivity make it an invaluable preliminary step in identifying at-risk individuals, facilitating early intervention and appropriate referral pathways.
