“…Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the five latent variables cross-correlated models showed the best fit rather than unitary or hierarchical models. [1][2][3]5 These results are quite similar to those reported by another French-speaking team 9 on patients also hospitalized for SUD but more widely involved with opiates. Second, the internal consistency of the subscales was good.…”

“…8 This tool has been validated multiple times in various languages. [1][2][3]5,6,[8][9][10][11] In addition to this five-factor model, some authors argued for a hierarchical representation that identifies three interrelated higher-order constructs of impulsivity. [8][9][10] According to them, positive and negative urgency could be grouped in a higher-order construct of general urgency, lack of premeditation and perseverance could fall under a higher-order construct called "consciousness", and sensation seeking would be a separate dimension.…”

Background: Impulsivity is a multifaceted construct that plays a prominent role in substance use disorder (SUD). The UPPS-P model distinguishes five impulsivity components (positive urgency, negative urgency, lack of perseverance, lack of premeditation, and sensation seeking). This study aimed to explore the structure of the UPPS-P in patients hospitalized for SUDs and to investigate the relationship between the dimensions of impulsivity and clinical variables. Method: Inpatients of a residential detoxification service ( n = 125) were recruited. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed, and associations were assessed between the components of impulsivity and clinical indexes. Results: The factor analysis supported a model of impulsivity with five interrelated latent variables. Good internal consistency was found. External validity was supported by relationships with psychological difficulties. Multiple correlations (Kendall) suggested that, except for its sensation-seeking component, impulsivity is a significant risk factor for both the severity of addictive problems and their comorbidities. Conclusion: This study provides further evidence in favor of the 5-dimensional model of impulsivity. It highlights impulsivity as a transdiagnostic risk factor that should be considered in the management of SUD.

“…It assesses impulsivity in five different facets: urgency, positive urgency, lack of perseverance, lack of premeditation and sensation seeking. The short French version of the UPPS-P presented good psychometric properties in SUD with Cronbach’s alphas ranging from 0.70 to 0.84 for the five facets 57…”

Feasibility, acceptability and preliminary outcomes of a mindfulness-based relapse prevention program in a naturalistic setting among treatment-seeking patients with alcohol use disorder: a prospective observational study

ObjectivesCultural differences between the USA and France led us to examine the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy data on craving, quality of life and psychological flexibility of the add-on Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) programme in alcohol use disorder (AUD) in France.DesignWe conducted a prospective observational study with a 6-month follow-up.SettingThe study was performed in a naturalistic setting with adult outpatients from an addiction department.ParticipantsWe included all patients with a current AUD who participated in the MBRP programme (n=52). There was no non-inclusion criterion.InterventionsThe intervention was an 8-week MBRP programme, combining elements of traditional relapse prevention cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness meditation training. This was an eight-session closed-group programme.Primary and secondary outcome measuresPrimary outcomes were the number of attended treatment sessions, home practice frequency and dropout rate. Secondary outcomes were changes in craving, quality of life, psychological flexibility, drinking outcomes, depression, anxiety and mindfulness levels.ResultsThe average number of completed sessions was 6.6 (SD: 1.9). Most participants introduced mindfulness meditation into their everyday lives: 69% and 49% of included patients maintained formal practice at 3 and 6 months, respectively, and 80% and 64% maintained informal practice at 3 and 6 months, respectively. Most participants used mindfulness techniques to face high-risk situations (56% at 6 months). Participants reported a significant reduction in craving, days of alcohol use, depression and anxiety and an increase in mindfulness and psychological flexibility at 6 months.ConclusionsThe MBRP programme showed good acceptability and feasibility. MBRP seemed to improve craving, mindfulness and psychological flexibility. Comparative studies are needed to evaluate the programme’s efficacy in AUD.Trial registration number2200863 v 0.

“…Finally, our sample was only composed of healthy participants and the psychometric properties of the C-SUPPS-P should be confirmed in clinical population (e.g., individuals with substance abuse and addictive disorders). Yet, previous work conducted in other languages suggests that the SUPPS-P supported the psychometric validity of this scale in psychiatric patients encountered in an emergency setting (74) and in substance use disorder patients (45) implying that this short impulsivity scale can be filled by unstable psychiatric patients.…”

“…The current study aimed to develop and validate a Chinese short version of the UPPS-P (C-SUPPS-P) on the basis of the original SUPPS-P (33), which has proven to be an effective tool for assessing the impulsivity of both the general population and clinical patients (44)(45)(46)(47). To achieve this objective, we conducted a validation study in a sample of Chinese adolescents and emerging adults, a group that is prone to impulsivity for several reasons including immaturity of the brain areas involved in selfcontrol and self-regulation (48,49).…”

Psychometric Properties of the Chinese SUPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale: Factor Structure and Measurement Invariance Across Gender and Age

et al. 2020

Objective: Impulsivity is widely recognized as a risk factor for a variety of mental disorders and problematic behaviors. The Short UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale (SUPPS-P) is an extensively used instrument to measure impulsivity in research and clinical settings. The current study primarily aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the SUPPS-P (C-SUPPS-P) among Chinese adolescents and emerging adults, and then to test its measurement invariance across gender and age. Methods: Data were collected from three vocational high schools and six colleges in Changsha, China. A total of 2,551 participants (20.1% male and 22.6% adolescents) completed the C-SUPPS-P and scales assessing addictive and problematic smartphone use, as well as emotional symptoms (anxiety, stress, depression). Four alternative models were examined and compared by using confirmatory factor analysis to determine the best factor structure of the C-SUPPS-P. Multigroup confirmatory factor analyses were used to test measurement invariance across gender and age. Results: A theory-driven five-factor structure consistent with the original scale was identified. All of the subscales had good internal consistency. The correlations observed with the other scales supported the construct validity of the C-SUPPS-P. Full measurement invariance was established across gender and age, and significant gender and age differences according to impulsivity facets were identified. Conclusions: The C-SUPPS-P presents a consistent factor structure, as well as reliability and validity that are equivalent to those of the original scale. The full measurement invariance shown across gender and age allows for intergroup comparisons. Overall, the C-SUPPS-P is a promising instrument to measure various impulsivity traits in Chinese adolescents and emerging adults.
