What this cage aid questionnaire measures
This cage aid questionnaire estimates self-reported CAGE-AID inspired alcohol and drug concern frequency signals patterns across four domains. Twenty-two original frequency items group into cut down urges, annoyance reactions, guilt feelings, drug eye openers. Each item also maps to a fear-of-intimacy stack layer. A second results chart inspired by FOIS-style intimacy avoidance themes from Descutner and Thelen (1991), adapted to this topic. Your alcohol concern index averages these patterns into a 0 to 100 score where higher numbers mean more endorsed CAGE-AID inspired alcohol and drug concern frequency signals on this screener, not a clinical diagnosis.

| Band | Index range | Typical reading |
|---|---|---|
| Lower Alcohol Concern | 0 to 35 | Fewer endorsed CAGE-AID inspired alcohol and drug concern frequency signals patterns; situational stress can still raise scores briefly |
| Mixed Alcohol Concern | 36 to 65 | Blend of occasional and recurring CAGE-AID inspired alcohol and drug concern frequency signals signals worth tracking with a clinician if persistent |
| Higher Alcohol Concern | 66 to 100 | Frequent CAGE-AID inspired alcohol and drug concern frequency signals signals; schedule professional evaluation, not self-diagnosis |
