The CAGE consists of 4-items which can be self-completed, or clinician administered. ‘CAGE’ refers to the four questions contained in the measure: Cut down, Annoyed, Guilty, Eye-opener, with items scored 0 (no) or 1 (yes), and then summed. Higher scores in general indicate possible problematic alcohol use [520]. The CAGE is included in Appendix V. Download section Previous Next
