Resumen
En la mayoría de países desarrollados los accidentes de tráfico suponen la principal causa de muerte entre los jóvenes. Una gran proporción de accidentes está relacionado con el consumo de alcohol. En España no existen instrumentos para evaluar las expectativas positivas relacionadas con el consumo de alcohol y la conducción. Modificar estas expectativas puede ser un método eficaz de prevención, por lo que se precisan instrumentos válidos y fiables para medir este constructo. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron traducir, adaptar culturalmente y examinar las propiedades psicométricas de la versión en español de la Positive Expectancies for Drinking and Driving for Youth (PEDD-Y) en una muestra de jóvenes españoles. Participaron 352 estudiantes universitarios con permiso de conducir. Se examinó la estructura factorial, las propiedades psicométricas (fiabilidad y validez) y la estabilidad temporal de la versión española del cuestionario PEDD-Y. Los resultados indicaron que la versión en español de la PEDD-Y mostró propiedades psicométricas satisfactorias y se demostró que predicen significativamente la prevalencia y las intenciones futuras de conducir bajo los efectos del alcohol, así como viajar con un conductor ebrio. El factor conveniencia resultó ser el más fiable y con mayor validez predictiva. Se discuten las limitaciones y los temas futuros de investigación en este ámbito.
