Implication

Confirmatory factor analysis supports a new scale assessing motives related to drinking and physical activity in university students, indicating potential interventions.

Key Points

The Drinking and Physical Activity Motives (DPAM) scale identifies five key motives related to alcohol use and physical activity.
A sample of 1691 university students was analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis to validate the scale.
Measurement invariance across gender and race indicates that motives are consistent across different demographic groups.
The DPAM scale aims to enhance understanding of the drinking and physical activity relationship, improving intervention strategies.
