abstract="The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the original version of the Adolescent Drinking Index (ADI), and to examine the fit of a series of confirmatory factor analysis models to arrive at an abbreviated version that can be easily administered in settings with limited time for assessment. These aims were examined in a sample of 740 adolescents (Mage=15.26; 58.5% males) who completed the ADI during an emergency department visit. <br><br>RESULTS suggested that the four-domain design did not fit the data adequately. <br><br>RESULTS, however, demonstrated good fit for an 8-item adapted version with a four-factor structure: interpersonal, social, psychological, and physical indicators. This abbreviated version was also associated with outcomes such as hangover, alcohol withdrawal, and substance use. <br><br>FINDINGS from this study provide support for the use of an abbreviated version of the ADI for screening adolescents and referring them to appropriate interventions.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
