Test construction procedures for evaluating alcohol education: the "Decisions and Drinking" program
Abstract:
The procedure developed by Jackson for the construction of the Personality Research Form was applied in the development of an instrument to evaluate the Power of Positive Parenting course in the Decisions and Drinking series. The procedure tests for content validity, reliability, and criterion validity. A preliminary test of 161 items (which was divided into scales of knowledge, attitudes, and behavior for both drinking and parenting) was developed and administered to 130 subjects in the summer of 1980. The analysis of the preliminary test yielded 94 items for the final test. Final scales were retested for reliability and yielded highly satisfactory coefficients.
