The Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test's factor structure varies depending on population and culture. Because of this inconsistency, this article examined the factor structure of the test and conducted a factorial invariance test between a U.S. and a Philippines college sample. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that a three-factor solution outperforms the one- and two-factor solution in both samples. Factorial invariance analyses further supports the confirmatory findings by showing that factor loadings were generally invariant across groups; however, item intercepts show non-invariance. Country differences between factors show that Filipino consumption factor mean scores were significantly lower than their U.S. counterparts.
酒精使用障碍识别测试的因子结构因人群和文化而异。由于这种不一致性，本文研究了该测试的因子结构，并在美国和菲律宾的大学样本之间进行了因子不变性测试。验证性因子分析表明，在两个样本中，三因子解决方案优于单因子和双因子解决方案。因子不变性分析进一步支持了验证性研究结果，表明因子载荷在各组之间总体上是不变的；然而，项目截距显示出非不变性。各因子之间的国家差异表明，菲律宾消费因子的平均得分显著低于美国的对应得分。
