CAGE-AID adapts CAGE wording to include drug use in addition to alcohol. It is commonly used as a quick behavioral risk screen in medical and mental-health settings.
Formula: Total score = sum of 4 yes/no items (0-4). Common positive threshold: >=2.
Scores >=2 suggest elevated risk for problematic alcohol/drug use patterns and support expanded substance-use assessment.
Use for rapid behavioral substance-use screening in general medical and behavioral health intake.
CAGE-AID does not quantify amount/frequency, substance type details, or current withdrawal/intoxication severity without additional tools.
