The Standardization Study of High Risk Group of Adolescent Drug Users Screening Test-HIRIGADUST(Ⅰ) - Reliability and Construct Validity -

One of the screening tests used for identifying the high risk group of adolescent drug users is High Risk Group of Adolescent Drug Users Screening Test (HIRIGADUST) developed by Kyung-Bin Kim (1977) that consist of six subscales and 70 items. The Purpose of this study was to examine the reliability and construct validity of HIRIGADUST. HIRIGADUST was administered to 370 third grade middle school students. In the reliability test, the Cronbach’s α coefficients were 0.70-0.89 in five subscales, but the Cronbach’s α coefficient was 0.53 in ‘Personal experience and general environment’ subscale. The resulting of testing the construct validity of five subscales of HIRIGADUST by factor analysis provided evidence for the validity of the each subscales. We used T score 65 as a cut-off point. The cutting scores were 12 for ‘Peer relationships and school performance’ subscale, 14 for ‘Personality and value system’ subscale, 14 for ‘Psychological problems and health concerns’ subscale, 8 for ‘Family history and characteristics of parents’ subscale, and 14 for ‘Conserns about parents’ drinking subscale.
