title: Alcohol and sexual consent scale: development and validation.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To establish a short measure of attitudes toward sexual consent in the context of alcohol consumption.
  
  
  METHODS
  Using a multistage and systematic measurement development process, the investigators developed the Alcohol and Sexual Consent Scale using a sample  of college students.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The resulting 12-item scale, the Alcohol and Sexual Consent Scale, was examined across a variety of validation measures. The measure is related to alcohol consumption, sexual habits, and sexual victimization and/or perpetration.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The  Alcohol and Sexual Consent Scale can be used to serve as an outcome measure in sexual assault prevention programming.
