Abstract | Introduction and Aims: Alcohol expectancies are associated with drinking behaviour and post-drinking use thoughts, Design and Methods: Items selected through a focus group and Results: Factor analysis revealed three distinct substance reinforcement domains (‘Cognitive impairment’, ‘Sexual activity’ and ‘Social and emotional facilitation’). Discussion and Conclusions: The DEQ-MSM represents a reliable and valid measure of outcome expectancies, related to alcohol use among MSM,and represents an important advance as no known existing alcohol expectancy measure, to date, has been developed and/or normed for use among this group. Future applications of the DEQ-MSM in health promotion, clinical settings and research may contribute to reducing harm associated with alcohol use among MSM, including the development of alcohol use among young gay men. |
