While screening is often equated with sophisticated technology, this is not always the case. Screening can be very simple tests, as simple as a set of questions. For example, the Michigan Alcohol Screening Test (MAST) is a set of questions that family doctors can use to identify individuals at risk of alcoholism. Physical examinations can be screening tests, checking blood pressure is one example. Laboratory and diagnostic imaging tests are commonly used for screening for disease.
