Background: Few validated measures exist to capture the context and consequences of specific drinking events among college students.Objectives: This study sought to describe the development and validation of the Retrospective Alcohol Context Scale (RACS), a 30-day measure of drinking context among college students.Methods: A sample of 169 college students completed daily alcohol assessments for 30 days and completed the RACS at follow-up.Results: The RACS captured fewer negative consequences than daily assessments; however, high agreement was observed on context variables.Conclusion: Results support the validity of the RACS as a measure of drinking context among college students. The RACS may be most useful when information about drinking needs to be collected under limited time and resources.Scientific Significance: Further research is needed to examine the RACS among more diverse, probability samples and over longer time periods.
