“…Moreover, previous studies have found larger correlations between cannabis-PBS and cannabis-related outcomes for men than women (Richards et al, 2021). It has also been shown that men and women with similar levels of PBS use have different probabilities of endorsing certain PBSM items, with Pedersen et al (2017) identifying DIF across genders in 13 items.…”

“…However, to our knowledge, no studies have examined the psychometric properties of an adapted Spanish version of the PBSM. Richards et al (2021) conducted an online survey to compare marihuana-PBS use across genders and cultures in five samples of university students (Spain, n=169; Argentina, n=153; Uruguay, n=46; U.S., n=697; Netherlands, n=66). They employed a translation and back-translation procedure to provide a Spanish version of the short 17-item PBMS, reporting acceptable Cronbach´s alpha values across the five samples (range=.78-.94).…”

The Protective Behavioral Strategies for Marijuana scale (PBSM) was initially developed using samples of university students in USA. A community sample of Spanish young adults was recruited to provide the Spanish full-length and short versions of the Protective Behavioral Strategies for Cannabis use (S-PBSC; S-PBSC-SF). We followed a rigorous item-selection process to select the most relevant items from the original 50-item pool developed by Pedersen et al. (2016), on the basis of evidence of reliability, evidence of validity according to the internal structure (factor loadings, invariance across genders and university status, and differential item functioning [DIF]), and evidence of validity based on the relationships between S-PBSC scores and cannabis outcomes. Our findings support a 31-item unidimensional measure and a 13-item short form with excellent fit and internal consistency, invariant across genders and college status and free of DIF. Both the S-PBSC and S-PBSC-SF scores were associated with reduced cannabis use and consequences.

“…Results from other countries include a single studies conducted in Australia [110,111], Spain [112], Argentina [113] and South Korea [114]. In recent years, there has also been an international research project on the use of marijuana-specific PBS that included students from the United States, Argentina, Uruguay, Spain and the Netherlands [115][116][117].…”

W ostatnich latach zrealizowano także międzynarodowy projekt badawczy dotyczący stosowania specyficznych dla marihuany PBS, który obejmował studentów ze Stanów Zjednoczonych, Argentyny, Urugwaju, Hiszpanii i Holandii [115][116][117].…”
