一个简短的，可靠的双因素仪器测量饮酒相关的负面影响，从以前的措施，使用两个样本的大学生。在研究I中，收集了382名心理学导论学生的酒精使用和与酒精使用相关的问题的数据。最初的大学酒精问题量表（CAPS）进行了测试，发现拟合数据很差。采用序贯方法开发了一种改进的仪器。主成分分析（PCA）的一半的样本进行了20个项目的书面测量与大学生饮酒的负面影响。结果表明，两个因素的解决方案测量社会和情感问题。对另一半样本的验证性因素分析（CFA）证实了双因素结构。对该工具的进一步完善产生了经修订的CAPS（CAPS-r），这是一个包含8个项目的双因素量表。在研究II中，响应格式进行了修改，以符合青年问题筛选测试。共有726名学生完成了仪器作为一个大学范围内的随机样本的一部分。验证性因素分析表明，假设的模型适合在所有措施的模型拟合和因素结构是不变的性别。进一步的分析表明，规模是内部一致的，外部有效。需要一个简短可靠和有效的酒精相关问题的措施，使全国各地的大学校园低成本的数据收集，以及促进项目评估和常规流行病学监测和监测。(C)2001爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
A short, reliable two-factor instrument measuring drinking-related negative consequences was developed from a previous measure using two samples of college students. Ln Study I, data on alcohol use and problems associated with alcohol use were collected on 382 introductory psychology students. The original College Alcohol Problems Scale (CAPS) was tested and found to fit the data poorly. Sequential methods were used to develop a revised instrument. Principal components analyses (PCA) on half of the sample were conducted on 20 items written to measure negative consequences related to college student drinking. Results indicated a two-factor solution measuring social and emotional problems. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) on the other half of the sample confirmed the two-factor structure. Further refinement of the instrument resulted in the revised CAPS (CAPS-r), an eight-item two-factor scale. In Study II, the response format was altered to coincide with the Young Adult Problem Screening Test. A total of 726 students completed the instrument as part of a university-wide random sample. CFA showed that the hypothesized model fit well across all measures of model fit and the factor structure was invariant across gender. Additional analyses revealed that the scale was internally consistent and externally valid. A short reliable and valid measure of alcohol-related problems is needed to enable low-cost data collection on college campuses across the nation, as well as to facilitate program evaluation and routine epidemiological surveillance and monitoring.
