Abstract
This study evaluated the psychometric properties of Lao version of Drinking Refusal Self-Efficacy Questionnaire-Shortened Revised Adolescent (L-DRSEQ-SRA). A total of 406 Laotian adolescents from six lower secondary schools, were randomly selected for the evaluation of the following psychometric properties. The original factor model was confirmed via confirmatory factor analysis in Lao adolescents, the convergent and discriminant validity were found appropriate. The mean score of L-DRSEQ-SRA in the non-drinking group was significantly higher than in the drinking group. The L-DRSEQ-SRA showed acceptable internal consistency and test-retest reliability. The psychometric characteristics of the L-DRSEQ-SRA were established throughout this study.
