Introduction
Context: What do Federally Qualified Health Centers
report doing?
Caveat: Survey had a low response rate, screening’s % among all FQHCs may actually be lower.

Just because CAGE was reported as most common doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best instrument to use.

Ultra-Brief AOD Screens
Alcohol & Other Drugs – 2 questions
“How many times in the past year have you used an illegal drug
or used a prescription medication for nonmedical reasons?”
“How many times in the past year have you had 5 or more
drinks in a day?” (4 or more for women)
Yes to either question = positive
Mental Health
Screening Instrument Examples
PHQ-9 is adapted from PRIME MD TODAY, developed by Drs Robert L. Spitzer, Janet B.W. Williams, Kurt Kroenke, and
colleagues, with an educational grant from Pfizer Inc. For research information, contact Dr Spitzer at rls8@columbia.edu.
Ultra-Brief MH Screens
First 2 questions of the GAD-7.
Score of 3 or more* = positive.
Depression
First 2 questions of the PHQ-9.
Score of 3 or more* = positive.
* use 2 or more to increase sensitivity (decreases specificity).
Two-Stage Approach
• Use the ultra-brief screens first
–
–
–
–
single question for alcohol
single question drug use
GAD-2
PHQ-2
• Use a second, longer instrument only for patients
who initially screen positive, e.g. full AUDIT, DAST,
GAD-7, PHQ-9
Combination Screening Instrument
