摘要

Substance use disorders are highly comorbid with eating disorders. The co-occurrence of alcohol misuse and compensatory eating behaviors has been well established; however, no research has investigated cannabis-related compensatory eating behaviors. The present study sought to develop and evaluate a measure of cannabis-related compensatory behaviors among university students: the College Eating and Cannabis Behavior Scale (CECBS). Using a self-report, cross-sectional design, data were collected from a Canadian sample of 393 university students (78% female). The initial 21-item CECBS was evaluated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), which resulted in the removal of seven items and yielded a 14-item, two-factor solution with good-to-excellent model fit. The CECBS demonstrated strong internal consistency for the total scale and subscales (α > .85), as well as evidence of discriminant and concurrent validity. Overall, these findings suggest that the CECBS is a promising tool for assessing cannabis-related compensatory eating behaviors, although further evaluation using confirmatory factor analysis in diverse and independent samples is warranted.
