Abstract
A new measure of drinking contexts in adolescents was developed and validated. Phase 1: 212 participants answered three structured open format questions to gather informat ion regarding why, with whom and where adolescents drink alcohol. The pool of items was analyzed by a group of three experts according to t he following criteria: item correspondence with two different theoretical models and item semantic correctness. According with the evaluation of the agreement between judges, a set of 47 items was obtained. Pha se 2: 275 participants answered the Drinking Contexts Questionnaire -Adolescent form (CCCA- A). Internal structure was analyzed through the use of exploratory factor analysis. A principal component analysis with oblim in rotation (promax) yielded a four factor structure. The measure was fo und to demonstrate very good internal consistency for the four scales: soci al facilitation, peer pressure, stress control and parental control. Thes e results indicate that CCCA-A is a valid and reliable measure to assess dr inking contexts in Argentinean adolescents.
