| Sumario: | The objective of this research was to assess the psychometric properties (validity and precision) of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) in students of a Brazilian public university. A total of 406 university students participated, with an average age of 23.31 years (SD= 5.73), most of them were women (68.2%), single (58.4%), with low risk alcohol consumption (74.4%), who answered the AUDIT test and sociodemographic questions. Descriptive analyzes, confirmatory factor (CFA) and internal consistency analyzes were performed. The results indicated a better fit of the three-factor model [χ2(32)= 0.89, p< .001; TLI= 0.99; CFI = 0.99; RSMEA= 0.036 (CI90%= 0.012 - 0.056); ECVI= 0.30] and adequate internal consistency (α= .85; Ω= .89). It is concluded that the instrument proved to be theoretically and metrically suitable, and it can be used in research aimed at assessing alcohol consumption patterns in samples similar to the one considered here. |
