Researchers developed a new, brief scale to measure negative consequences of drinking among college students. This reliable and valid tool, the CAPS-r, helps track alcohol problems on campuses.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • College student drinking poses significant social and emotional challenges.
  • Existing measures of alcohol-related problems may lack reliability or brevity for widespread campus use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a short, reliable, two-factor instrument for measuring negative consequences of drinking in college students.
  • To refine the College Alcohol Problems Scale (CAPS) into a more effective measure, the CAPS-r.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized principal components analysis (PCA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) on data from two large samples of college students.
  • Developed and refined an eight-item, two-factor scale (CAPS-r) measuring social and emotional problems related to alcohol use.

Main Results:

  • The revised CAPS (CAPS-r) demonstrated a robust two-factor structure (social and emotional problems).
  • Confirmatory factor analyses confirmed the model fit and factor invariance across gender.
  • The CAPS-r proved to be internally consistent and externally valid.

Conclusions:

  • The CAPS-r is a short, reliable, and valid measure for assessing alcohol-related problems in college populations.
  • This scale facilitates cost-effective data collection, program evaluation, and epidemiological surveillance on college campuses.
