Overview

Psychometric study demonstrates validity of a short-form drinking motive questionnaire in adolescents, supporting its utility in large-scale alcohol research.

Key Points

  • To develop and validate a short-form version of the Drinking Motive Questionnaire Revised (DMQ-R SF) for use in adolescent populations.
  • Applied item selection strategies to derive the short form from a nationally representative sample of 5,617 students aged 12 to 18 years in Switzerland.
  • Evaluated concurrent validity using structural equation modeling in an independent national sample of 2,398 students aged 12 to 17 years.
  • Structural equation modeling confirmed the four-dimensional factor structure of the DMQ-R SF across the full sample and within demographic subpopulations.
  • Score means and statistical associations with alcohol use and alcohol-related problems aligned closely with results from the original, full-length DMQ-R.
