The Michigan Alcohol Screening Test – Geriatric (MAST-G) is a validated tool designed to detect alcohol misuse among older adults.
With Zentake’s HIPAA-secure digital solution, healthcare providers can perform the MAST-G assessment online—ensuring privacy, accuracy, and efficiency.
The MAST-G (Michigan Alcohol Screening Test – Geriatric) is an adaptation of the original MAST and SMAST, developed specifically to evaluate alcohol use among older adults.
It uses a structured series of questions addressing behavioral, psychological, and social factors.
Key Features
Alcohol misuse among older adults is often underdiagnosed due to overlapping symptoms with other medical conditions. The MAST-G provides a systematic approach to detect alcohol-related problems and improve care outcomes.
Benefits for Healthcare Providers

Clinicians often rely on paper versions of the MAST-G, which can be slow, error-prone, and difficult to manage securely.
Zentake offers a fully digital, automated, HIPAA-compliant MAST-G solution that improves workflow and accuracy.
Completion
Traditional forms require manual completion, increasing the risk of errors. Zentake’s digital interface streamlines this process.
