I got a nice journal from proquest. This sudy was about alcohol consequences. You can download the full journal below. I hope this journal can be helped you all. Maybe it's also a nice reading material for all of us. Here's the abstract for you


Objectives: To examine the reliability and validity of a new measure of alcohol outcome expectations for college students, the Alcohol Consequences Expectations Scale (ACES). Methods: College students (N=169) completed the ACES and several other measures.
Results: Results support
the existence of 5 internally consistent subscales. Additionally,the ACES is associated with conceptually similar measures and self-reported drinking behavior. Conclusions: This study supports the reliability of the ACES and its subscales and provides preliminary evidence of construct and criterion-related validity. Pending further investigation, this scale may be used to inform the development of alcohol abuse prevention programs on college campuses.
