CAGE-AID Substance Abuse Screening Tool
The CAGE-AID screening tool was adapted from the CAGE alcohol assessment tool to include questions about drug use. The target population for the CAGE-AID is both adults and adolescents and can be administered by patient interview or self-report. These tools are not used to diagnose diseases, but only to indicate whether a problem might exist. When thinking about drug use, include illegal drug use and the use of prescription drugs other than as prescribed.
