Abstract

Objective: There are currently no adequate measures to assess bystander intervention for problematic alcohol use (PAU).

Methods: We developed initial measures of bystander intervention for PAU, that include the constructs of likelihood to intervene, barriers to intervention, and actions taken in response to PAU situation. We sought to confirm the factor structure of the initial measures using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).

Participants: We administered the measures in a college student sample (N = 1,270) recruited through Prime Panels.

Results: CFA analysis resulted in the following two scales: 1) Bystander Alcohol Likelihood to Intervene (14 items), 2) Overcoming Bystander Alcohol Barriers to Intervene (22 items). The Bystander Alcohol Actions (22 items) was formative, no CFA was conducted. We found that the hypothesized model displayed significantly superior fit to all other models.

Conclusion: These measures can be used to inform bystander intervention programs for PAU and as tools to evaluate bystander intervention programs.

衡量旁观者的可能性、障碍和预防大学生酗酒的行动的因子结构。

目的：目前还没有适当的措施来评估旁观者对问题性饮酒（PAU）的干预：目前还没有适当的方法来评估旁观者对问题性饮酒（PAU）的干预：我们开发了针对 PAU 的旁观者干预的初步测量方法，其中包括干预的可能性、干预的障碍以及针对 PAU 情况采取的行动。我们试图通过确证因子分析（CFA）来确认初始测量的因子结构：我们对通过 Prime Panels 招募的大学生样本（N=1,270）进行了测量：CFA分析得出以下两个量表：1）旁观者酒精干预可能性（14个项目）；2）克服旁观者酒精干预障碍（22个项目）。旁观者酒精行动（22 个项目）是形成性的，没有进行 CFA。我们发现，假设模型的拟合度明显优于所有其他模型：这些测量方法可用于为 PAU 的旁观者干预计划提供信息，也可作为评估旁观者干预计划的工具。

期刊介绍： Binge drinking, campus violence, eating disorders, sexual harassment: Today"s college students face challenges their parents never imagined. The Journal of American College Health, the only scholarly publication devoted entirely to college students" health, focuses on these issues, as well as use of tobacco and other drugs, sexual habits, psychological problems, and guns on campus, as well as the students... Published in cooperation with the American College Health Association, the Journal of American College Health is a must read for physicians, nurses, health educators, and administrators who are involved with students every day.
