The CAGE Questionnaire is a widely-used, quick, and effective four-question screening tool designed to identify potential alcohol problems. Our free online CAGE Calculator helps you rapidly assess your risk for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) by totaling your "Yes" answers. This self-assessment is ideal for a preliminary check, with higher scores suggesting a need for further evaluation by a healthcare professional.
Formula:
The CAGE questionnaire scores 1 point for each 'Yes' answer to the four questions. The total score ranges from 0 to 4. A score of 2 or more points is generally considered clinically significant, suggesting potential alcohol abuse or dependence.
Variables:
- C (Cut down): Yes (1) / No (0)
- A (Annoyed): Yes (1) / No (0)
- G (Guilty): Yes (1) / No (0)
- E (Eye-opener): Yes (1) / No (0)
