Description
- Abstract
-
CBI is an instrument for assessing the clinical status and progress of the dependent subject, specifically identifying the frequency of the use of coping skills for abstinence in situations of risk. To do this, a total of 36 items are available on a Likert-type scale where positive and negative thinking, distraction-avoidance and search for social support are evaluated.
- Psychometric characteristics
-
Reliability:
Internal consistency: Cronbach's α = 0.90
Validity:
The factorial analysis explains 44.39% of the variance, being coincident with other previous studies in non-Spanish samples.
It presents a high reliability and construct validity so its use is recommended in the clinical evaluation - No. of items
-
It consists of 36 self-administered items using a Likert-type scale with four answer options
