Children's early experiences with alcohol inform the development of alcohol-related beliefs which are known to predict alcohol consumption during the critical stage of adolescence. Yet, there has been considerably less research into these alcohol-related cognitions in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) and existing measures of these beliefs are highly reflective of Western contexts, which may not be fully appropriate for use in LMICs. The aim is to ascertain the construct validity of the Alcohol Expectancies Questionnaire (AEQ) in a non-Western sample.

加纳农村青少年酒精预期问卷的因素结构

儿童早期的饮酒经历有助于形成与酒精相关的信念，这些信念可以预测青春期关键阶段的饮酒量。然而，在低收入和中等收入国家 (LMIC)，对这些与酒精相关的认知的研究要少得多，而且这些信念的现有衡量标准高度反映了西方背景，可能并不完全适合在中低收入国家使用。目的是确定非西方样本中酒精预期问卷 (AEQ) 的结构有效性。
