摘要

药物滥用是一个严重的心理健康问题，也是涉法青少年重新犯罪的风险因素。青少年药物滥用筛查测试（DAST-A）被用于评估不同情况下的药物滥用，但其心理测量特性尚未在青少年司法样本中得到深入探讨。我们研究了 DAST-A 在 741 名涉案青少年（男青少年 = 636 人）不同样本中的测量不变性和心理测量学特性。该工具在总体样本和亚组样本中显示出较强的可靠性（ω = .88-.94），以及良好的会聚效度和并发效度。逻辑回归结果表明，DAST-A得分每增加一个单位，药物使用障碍（SUD）诊断的几率就会增加23%（总体样本）。与黑人青少年相比，白人青少年的预测有效性更强，因此，针对黑人青少年探索了不同的临界分数。DAST-A 在不同性别和种族之间表现出测量不变性。本文讨论了对实践的影响。

Examining the Measurement Invariance and Psychometrics of the Drug Abuse Screening Test for Adolescents (DAST-A) in Justice-Involved Youth

Substance abuse is a serious mental health concern and reoffense risk factor for justice-involved youth. The Drug Abuse Screening Test for Adolescents (DAST-A) is used to assess drug abuse in different contexts, yet its psychometric properties have not yet been thoroughly explored in youth justice samples. We examined the measurement invariance and psychometrics of the DAST-A in a diverse sample of 741 justice-involved youth ( Nyoung men = 636). The tool showed strong reliability in the overall sample and subgroups (ω = .88–.94), and good convergent and concurrent validity. Logistic regression results indicated that, with each unit increase in DAST-A score, the odds of an substance use disorder (SUD) diagnosis increased by 23% (overall sample). The predictive validity findings were more robust for White youth than Black youth and as a result, a different cut-off score was explored for Black youth. The DAST-A demonstrated measurement invariance across gender and race. Practice implications are discussed.

期刊介绍： Criminal Justice and Behavior publishes articles examining psychological and behavioral aspects of the juvenile and criminal justice systems. The concepts "criminal justice" and "behavior" should be interpreted broadly to include analyses of etiology of delinquent or criminal behavior, the process of law violation, victimology, offender classification and treatment, deterrence, and incapacitation.
