abstract="The CAGE is a brief and simple alcoholism screening test which should be evaluated in the general population. A secondary analysis of the data from the Quebec Health Survey on a representative sample (n = 19,724) of those 15 years and older established the psychometric properties of the French version of the CAGE. A coefficient of internal consistency (alpha = 0.70) and a factorial analysis suggesting a unidimensional structure indicate a good homogeneity of the CAGE. A 13-item index of alcoholic dependence (CAGE + nine social consequences of drinking) also indicates a very good internal consistency (alpha = 0.91). This study confirms the usefulness of the CAGE and the index of dependence as screening tools for general population surveys.<p /><p>Language: fr</p>",
