Abstract
GONZALEZ-ANGULO, Pedro et al. Translation, cultural adaptation, and validation of the Support for Public Policies to Reduce Alcohol-Related Problems Scale among Mexican university students. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2023, vol.serVI, n.2, e22023. Epub June 05, 2023. ISSN 0874-0283. https://doi.org/10.12707/rvi22023.
Background:
Health protection through prevention and reduction of alcohol consumption is a public health priority. Some scales have been identified to assess public alcohol policies but in English language.
Objective:
To evaluate the psychometric properties of the translation and cultural adaptation of a scale to assess support for alcohol policies in young Mexican university students.
Methodology:
Methodological study, with the participation of 367 university students from southern Mexico. Construct validity was estimated by means of an exploratory factor analysis and the internal consistency of the questionnaire was checked to verify its reliability.
Results:
Internal consistency was 0.96. Construct validity was performed through exploratory factor analysis, identifying a three factors structure: harm reduction, marketing and information, and price and availability.
Conclusion:
The scale showed adequate reliability and validity, and can be applied in Spanish as an empirical indicator in studies concerning alcohol public policies in young university students.
Keywords : alcohol drinking; university students; public policies; scale validation; reliability.
