“…Concerning psychometric properties in our study, the AUDIT score showed an outstanding Cronbach's alpha of 0.978, in agreement with other studies [29,71]. Moreover, the one-factor model of the Arabic version was better than that of the Portuguese model [72] in terms of internal consistency and number of factors, making this tool useful in identifying risk-taking, signs of addiction, and unhealthy alcohol use among adolescents in Lebanon.…”

“…To assess alcohol consumption, drinking habits, and other alcohol-related issues, the WHO developed a 10item tool, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) [26]. This validated questionnaire is widely used across countries to evaluate hazardous drinking and alcohol consumption patterns [27] that increase the risk of physical, mental, and social harm in adults and adolescents [28,29]. It has been validated among prisoners in the United Arab Emirates [30] and university students in Lebanon [31], but there is no information about its validation among Lebanese adolescents.…”

Background: This study objective was to evaluate the prevalence of alcohol use disorder (AUD) and related factors (smoking, internet addiction, social anxiety, child abuse, and bullying) among a representative sample of Lebanese adolescents, and to validate and confirm psychometric properties of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). Methods: A cross-sectional study, conducted between January and May 2019, enrolled 1810 adolescents aged between 14 and 17 from schools of all Lebanese districts. From the total number of schools, a proportionate number was selected in each district. AUD was defined as a high AUDIT score (≥8; score range 0-40). A principal component analysis technique to confirm the validity of the construct of the AUDIT scale score was done and a confirmatory analysis to assess the structure of the instrument was conducted. Spearman correlation was used for linear correlation between continuous variables. The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the means of two groups, while the Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare three groups or more. A stepwise linear regression was conducted, taking the AUDIT total score as the dependent variable and taking child abuse (psychological, sexual, physical and verbal), cigarette and waterpipe smoking dependence, bullying, social phobia, and internet addiction as independent variables. Results: The mean AUDIT score was 6.46 ± 8.44 and high risk of AUD was found in 507 (28.0%) adolescents [95% CI 0.259-0.301]. One factor solution of the AUDIT scale was found after running the factor analysis (α Cronbach = 0.978). Higher AUDIT scores were significantly associated with higher cigarette (Beta = 0.527; p < 0.001) and waterpipe (Beta = 0.299; p < 0.001) dependence, higher childhood sexual abuse (Beta = 0.656; p < 0.001) and neglect (Beta = 0.126; p < 0.001), higher bullying victimization (Beta = 0.236; p < 0.001).

“…O presente estudo avaliou a estrutura fatorial do Audit em uma amostra representativa de adolescentes de São Luís, Maranhão. Os resultados mostraram que a estrutura com três fatores obteve ajuste satisfatório para a amostra em estudo, em consonância com os domínios conceituais originais 13 propostos pela OMS e com outros estudos 10,11,15,18 realizados com adolescentes.…”

“…Em relação ao modelo trifatorial do Audit, estudo realizado com adolescentes e adultos jovens mexicanos na faixa etária de 14 a 30 anos apresentou índices de ajuste mais satisfatórios do que o modelo de dois fatores 18 . Esse mesmo modelo também foi confirmado pelo estudo 15 comparativo entre amostras de jovens norte-americanos e filipinos que evidenciou a possibilidade das estruturas fatoriais do Audit serem diferentes em função do gênero e da idade.…”

OBJETIVO: Determinar a estrutura fatorial do instrumento Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (Audit) em uma amostra representativa de adolescentes de 18 a 19 anos. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal realizado com adolescentes nascidos em São Luís (MA). A consistência interna do instrumento foi determinada pelo coeficiente alfa de Cronbach e a validade do construto foi avaliada por meio da Análise Fatorial Confirmatória (AFC). O índice de Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) foi calculado para analisar a adequação da amostra. A qualidade de ajuste do modelo fatorial foi analisada de acordo com os índices dos testes qui-quadrado de ajustamento, comparative fit index (CFI), Tucker-Lewis index (TLI) e root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA). RESULTADOS: A amostra do estudo foi composta por 1.002 adolescentes entre 18 e 19 anos, sendo 56,8% meninas, 68,5% com 18 anos, 63,3% pardos ou mulatos, 48,6% pertencentes à classe C, 15,4% não trabalhavam e não estudavam e 52,1% tinham pais separados. A amostra foi adequada para a análise fatorial confirmatória (KMO = 0,79) e o coeficiente do alfa de Cronbach foi de 0,70, demostrando consistência interna satisfatória com cargas fatoriais acima de 0,5, com exceção do item 9 “Ficou ferido ou ficou alguém ferido por ter bebido”. A análise fatorial confirmatória revelou a validade do modelo de três fatores para a amostra em estudo com base nos índices de ajustes psicométricos. CONCLUSÃO: A estrutura fatorial do Audit com três fatores foi confirmada para a população de adolescentes entre 18 e 19 anos residentes em São Luís, ratificando os domínios conceituais originais propostos pela Organização Mundial da Saúde. O Audit apresentou-se como um instrumento confiável para a identificação do consumo de álcool.

“…(Saunders et al, 1993). Se usó la versión validada para adolescentes mexicanos (Morales-Quintero et al, 2019). Está constituida por 10 ítems distribuidos en tres factores: 1) Consumo de riesgo de alcohol (α = .809) (p .ej., ¿Con qué frecuencia consume alguna bebida alcohólica); 2) Síntomas de dependencia (α = .713) (p.…”
