Validation of the Inventory of Drinking Situations in people seeking treatment in Mexico
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: before starting treatment, it is necessary to know the pattern of consumption, to determine the background, risk situations that lead the individual to harmful drinking, among other variables. So far there is no validated instrument, in Mexico to measure the situations that precipitate the consumption of alcohol in alcoholic population.
Objective: validate the Situational Inventory of Alcohol Consumption (ISCA) in the Mexican population consuming alcohol.
Method: a sample of 592 (88.2% men, 11.8% women), whose ages ranged between 18 and 30 years of age (M = 21.13, SD = 2.26) was gotten, who requested psychological attention for problems with their alcohol consumption, of which 66.2% reported low dependency and 33.8% moderate dependence.
Results: a robust maximum likelihood confirmatory analysis was performed, with which a reliable (α = .96) and valid instrument was obtained, with an explained variance of 59%.
Discussion and conclusion: a valid, reliable and brief instrument applicable in brief interventions for users who seek treatment for alcohol consumption.
