Overview

Survey assesses opportunities for alcohol and cannabis use in 1,082 youth, suggesting significant behavioral correlations.

Key Points

  • Psychometric evaluation shows strong validity for measures of alcohol use and cannabis use opportunities.
  • The confirmatory factor analysis revealed three primary factors for opportunities related to alcohol, cannabis, and simultaneous use.
  • Internal reliability estimates indicate consistent measurements across the identified factors, ranging from 0.82 to 0.89.
  • Unique associations were noted between opportunities measures and substance use behaviors, while controlling for beliefs and demographics.
