The prevalence and correlates of alcohol-related problems measured by the CAGE questionnaire were investigated in a population of 249 homosexually active men at a Boston community health center. Two hundred eight men (79.4%) reported alcohol use during the past 6 months and 22.9% (27.4% of alcohol users) were CAGE positive (two or more positive responses). Increased frequency of alcohol use was strongly associated with CAGE positivity (p < .001). Controlling for frequency of alcohol use, cigarette smoking was independently associated with a positive CAGE score. Other substance use and demographic variables were not independently associated with CAGE problems.
在波士顿一家社区健康中心，对249名有同性恋行为的男性群体进行了调查，以研究通过CAGE问卷测量的与酒精相关问题的患病率及其相关因素。208名男性（79.4%）报告在过去6个月内饮酒，其中22.9%（占饮酒者的27.4%）CAGE问卷呈阳性（两个或更多阳性反应）。饮酒频率增加与CAGE问卷阳性呈强相关（p < 0.001）。在控制饮酒频率后，吸烟与CAGE问卷阳性得分独立相关。其他物质使用情况和人口统计学变量与CAGE问卷问题无独立相关性。
