Abstract
The Rest and CAGE alcohol screening instruments were compared in a random s ample of 103 of 3609 young adults participating in a longitudinal panel. Re st (t = 6.01, df = 101, p < .001) and CAGE (t = 7.27, df = 97, p < .001) sc ores were significantly higher for those classified as having alcohol depen dence than for those without dependence according to the short-form of the Composite International Diagnostic Inventory (SF-CIDI). The areas under the curve for the CAGE (0.840) and the Rest (0.783) were not statistically dif ferent (z = 1.30, p > .05).
