Validation of the Dutch version of the brief young adult alcohol consequences questionnaire (B-YAACQ)
Addictive Behaviors Volume 34, Issue 5, May 2009, Pages 411-414


The purpose of this study was to validate the Dutch version of the Brief Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire (B-YAACQ).

Data from 667 undergraduate and graduate students (184 men and 483 women) who reported alcohol use during the past year was used in the analysis. On average, students in this study report 4.7 alcohol-related consequences. The Dutch B-YAACQ was shown to have a high reliability and validity: Cronbach's Alpha was 0.816, and B-YAACQ scores correlated significantly with AUDIT-PC scores (r = 0.747). B-YAACQ scores correlated significantly
The Dutch B-YAACQ is a useful new tool for screening of alcohol-related consequences.
