Michigan Alcohol Screening Test (MAST)

One of the most widely used measures for assessing alcohol abuse, the MAST is a questionnaire designed to provide screening for lifetime alcohol-related problems and alcoholism.

The MAST self-test may help you become aware of your use or abuse of alcohol. Please note, this test focuses on alcohol only. You must utilize the DAST test to focus on drug use. To take this questionnaire, carefully read each statement and decide whether your answer is yes or no. Please click on the radio button next to the answer that best reflects how each statement applies within the last 12 months.

Please note: This test will only be scored correctly if you answer each one of the questions.
