Researchers who study the etiology of college drinking typically employ measures of alcohol-use behaviors as outcomes; however, relatively little is known about the properties of alcohol-related problems (AP). This study aims to develop a single continuous measure of AP.
The sample included 531 undergraduate college students who were surveyed in March 2007.
The Rasch model was employed for dichotomous variables to analyze the measurement properties of 17 AP items.
Although issues with respect to differentiation at low levels of problem severity were identified, based on most strategies, the Rasch-based scale was shown to be a valid and reliable measure of AP among college students.
Although there may be some need for slight modification and adjustment in the future, the AP scale developed here can potentially serve as a useful measure for etiological and prevention research.
研究大学生饮酒病因的研究人员通常将酒精使用行为的测量作为结果;然而,关于与酒精相关问题 (AP) 的性质知之甚少。本研究旨在开发一种单一的连续 AP 测量方法。
该样本包括 2007 年 3 月接受调查的 531 名大学生。
采用二项式变量的 Rasch 模型分析 17 项 AP 项目的测量特性。
尽管在问题严重程度较低的情况下存在区分问题,但基于大多数策略,基于 Rasch 的量表被证明是大学生中评估 AP 的有效且可靠的方法。
尽管将来可能需要进行一些轻微的修改和调整,但这里开发的 AP 量表可能会成为病因学和预防研究的有用工具。
