This study aimed to analyze the items of
the Scale of Attitudes toward Alcohol,
alco holism and alcoholics in order to
prepare a reduced version keeping the instrument’s
psychometric properties. The preliminary
version of the Scale composed by 165
items was tested in a sample with 144
nursing student. The evaluation process
of the items consisted of the totalitem
coefficient correlation and reliability of the
instrument was estimated by Cronbach’s
alpha coefficient. Results indicate the permanence
of 83 items, divided into five factors
that showed satisfactory values in
the
different coefficients of internal consistency.
Further studies are needed with larger
samples in order to give continuity to the
process of scale validation among health
professionals.
