目的：采用项目反应模型编制青少年酒精后果简明问卷(B-YAACQ)，对大学生过去一年的不良酒精后果进行简明、易解释的测量。本研究的目的是通过检查B-YAACQ在过去30天的评估时间范围内对因大学酒精违规而被引用的大学生的心理测量学特性来扩展对B-YAACQ的评估。方法：对291名因大学酗酒而被引用的学生进行了B-YAACQ的基线测试和为期6周的随访。除了Rasch模型分析外，还利用这些数据进行了信度和效度分析。结果：B-YAACQ具有较好的内部一致性，具有较强的单维度和累加性，条目冗余度最小，地板或天花板效应最小，在6周内具有较好的信度，对酒精干预后饮酒的变化敏感。此外，随着时间的推移，项目的相对严重性被保留下来，并与早期研究的结果大体一致。结论：为期30天的B-YAACQ似乎适用于接受酒精违规的大学生，也适用于评估酒精后果的变化。
Objective: The Brief Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire (B-YAACQ) was developed using item response modeling to provide a brief and readily interpretable measure of negative alcohol consequences over the past year among college students. The purpose of the present study was to extend evaluation of the B-YAACQ by examining its psychometric properties when administered to college students cited for a university alcohol violation using a past 30-day time frame of assessment. Method: The B-YAACQ was administered at baseline and at a 6-week follow-up to 291 students cited for a university alcohol violation. Reliability and validity analyses, in addition to Rasch model analyses, were conducted using these data. Results: Results demonstrated that the B-YAACQ was internally consistent, showed strong unidimensionality and additive properties, displayed minimal item redundancy and minimal floor or ceiling effects, was reliable over a 6-week period, and was sensitive to change in drinking following an alcohol intervention. In addition, the relative severity of items was preserved over time and generally consistent with results from an earlier study. Conclusions: The 30-day B-YAACQ seems valid for use with college students who have received an alcohol violation and for use in evaluating changes in alcohol consequences.
