INTRODUCTION. Alcohol is the psychoactive substance with the highest rate of consumption worldwide, one of the forms of evaluation of this problem is through the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. OBJECTIVE. To evaluate the psychometric properties of the questionnaire at a University in Chimborazo. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Observational, prospective study, with a population of 2 064 young
adults, and a sample of 978 university students. The sampling applied was intentional non-probabilistic, at the National University of Chimborazo, period april to december 2018. Reliability and validity analyses of the World Health Organization’s Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test were performed using the Delphi method. RESULTS. The research was developed with a non-clinical sample, 72,8% (712; 978) corresponded to female; ages between 18 and 34 years old with an X= 21,16. Confidence was applied to the reference pattern of the reliability and validity analysis of α=0,831. A confirmatory factorial analysis of the Kaiser, Meyer and Olkin test and Bartlett test=0,898 and a significance of p=0,00. CONCLUSION. The psychometric results allow us to conclude that the instrument is valid and reliable to evaluate harmful alcohol consumption in its own university context.
