Heck, Edward J.; Lichtenberg, James W.
Journal of College Student Development, v31 n4 p359-64 Jul 1990
Examined the ability of CAGE, an established screening test for alcoholism, to identify accurately problem drinkers among college students (N=582). Found that the CAGE did not perform well enough to serve as a screening tool for problem drinking within the college student population. (Author/ABL)
