Research is needed to establish the psychometric properties of brief screens in university primary care settings. This study aimed to assess the construct validity of one such screen, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption (AUDIT-C), for detecting at-risk drinking among students who have utilized on-campus primary care.
389 students recently seen in university primary care completed a confidential online survey in December 2014.
Bivariate correlations between the AUDIT-C and measures of alcohol consumption and negative drinking consequences provided concurrent evidence for construct validity. Receiver Operating Characteristic curve analyses determined optimal cut-off scores for at-risk drinking.
The AUDIT-C significantly correlated with measures of alcohol consumption and negative drinking consequences (p < .001). Analyses support optimal AUDIT-C cut-off scores of 5 for females and 7 for males.
The AUDIT-C is a valid screen for at-risk drinking among students who utilize university primary care.
需要开展研究以确定在大学初级保健环境中使用简短筛查工具的心理测量学特性。本研究旨在评估一种这样的筛查工具,即酒精使用障碍识别测试-摄入量(AUDIT-C),用于检测在大学校园初级保健中使用过的学生中的危险饮酒情况。
389 名最近在大学初级保健中就诊的学生于 2014 年 12 月完成了一项在线匿名调查。
AUDIT-C 与酒精摄入量和负面饮酒后果的衡量标准之间的双变量相关性为结构效度提供了同时性证据。接收者操作特性曲线分析确定了危险饮酒的最佳截断分数。
AUDIT-C 与酒精摄入量和负面饮酒后果的衡量标准显著相关(p <.001)。分析支持女性 AUDIT-C 最佳截断值为 5,男性为 7。
AUDIT-C 是评估在利用大学校园初级保健的学生中危险饮酒情况的有效筛查工具。
