Abstract

Alcohol

Adolescent

Refusal self‐efficacy

Adolescent drinking is a significant issue yet valid psychometric tools designed for this group are scarce. The Drinking Refusal Self‐Efficacy Questionnaire—Revised Adolescent Version (DRSEQ‐RA) is designed to assess an individual's belief in their ability to resist drinking alcohol. The original DRSEQ‐R consists of three factors reflecting social pressure refusal self‐efficacy, opportunistic refusal self‐efficacy and emotional relief refusal self‐efficacy. A large sample of 2020 adolescents aged between 12 and 19 years completed the DRSEQ and measures of alcohol consumption in small groups. Using confirmatory factor analysis, the three factor structure was confirmed. All three factors were negatively correlated with both frequency and volume of alcohol consumption. Drinkers reported lower drinking refusal self‐efficacy than non‐drinkers. Taken together, these results suggest that the adolescent version of the Drinking Refusal Self‐Efficacy Questionnaire (DRSEQ‐RA) is a reliable and valid measure of drinking refusal self‐efficacy.
