However, there are only a handful of screening instruments for this population and many studies measuring youth gambling problems use adult instruments that may not be developmentally appropriate. The aim of this study was to validate a Spanish version of the Canadian Adolescent Gambling Inventory (CAGI) among late adolescent and young adults and to explore its psychometric properties. Methods: The sample (16-29 years old) included a clinical group (n = 55) with GD patients and a control group (n = 340). Results: Exploratory factor analysis yielded one factor as the best model. This 24-item scale demonstrated satisfactory reliability (internal consistency, Cronbach's alpha, α = 0.91), satisfactory convergent validity as measured by correlation with South Oaks Gambling Screen (r = 0.74), and excellent classification accuracy (AUC = 0.99; sensitivity = 0.98; and specificity = 0.99). Conclusion: Our results provide empirical support for our validation of the Spanish version of the CAGI. We uphold that the Spanish CAGI can be used as a brief, reliable, and valid instrument to assess gambling problems in Spanish youth. cc-by (c) Jiménez-Murcia, Susana et al., 2017 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Jocs d'atzar Joc compulsiu Psicopatologia Addictes Adolescents Joves Espanya Gambling Compulsive gambling Pathological psychology Addicts Teenagers Youth Spain A Spanish Validation of the Canadian Adolescent Gambling Inventory (CAGI) info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
