Expectancies about the effects of alcohol predict alcohol consumption among
adolescent children. Although alcohol-expectancy measures have been validated to use
with English speaking populations, there is currently no available information on the
psychometric properties of the Comprehensive Effects of Alcohol (CEOA) questionnaire
with Spanish speaking populations. Using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), the
factor structure of the Spanish version of the CEOA was assessed in a set of scores
obtained from a sample of adolescents from Mexico (N = 345). The results replicated the
7-factor structure of the CEOA. Moreover, CEOA factor-scale derived scores predicted
alcohol use. Overall, the CEOA-Spanish appears to be a valid measure of alcohol
expectancies for use with Mexican adolescents.
