There are no psychometrically evaluated instruments to measure the frequency of the enabling behaviors of family members of psychoactive substance users. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the internal consistency and factor structure of the Behavioral Enabling Scale. Design: A cross-sectional study was carried out, with a secondary analysis of data collected from 400 family members of psychoactive substance users that used a hotline service in Brazil. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted with an initial sample of 200 protocols, and with the remaining 200 protocols, a confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. Results: The internal consistency estimate proved entirely satisfactory in both samples, where the first presented a Cronbach\u2019s alpha of 0.76 and the second had a consistency estimate of 0.79. Factor analysis was conducted using a shortened version of the instrument, with 15 items, during which six factors that cover 65% of the scale\u2019s explained variance were extracted. KMO = 0.68 and Bartlett\u2019s test of sphericity = X2 (gl = 153) 497.201, p &lt; 0.0001, were significant. Conclusion: The Brazilian version of the Behavioral Enabling Scale is a valid tool that measures the frequency of the enabling behaviors of family members of psychoactive substance users. The measurement instrument enables further investigations into the behavior of family members regarding the use of psychoactive substances by their relatives.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph21091230","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,18]],"date-time":"2024-09-18T09:43:13Z","timestamp":1726652593000},"page":"1230","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Translated and Adapted Brazilian Version of the Behavioral Enabling Scale for Family Members of Psychoactive Substance Users: An Analysis of the Factorial Structure and Internal Consistency"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1387-1908","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Heloisa Pra\u00e7a","family":"Baptista","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Toxicology and Pharmacology Postgraduate Program in Health Sciences, Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre, Porto Alegre 90050-170, RS, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9349-4203","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hilda Maria Rodrigues Moleda","family":"Constant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Toxicology and Pharmacology Postgraduate Program in Health Sciences, Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre, Porto Alegre 90050-170, RS, Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Behavioral Sciences Methodology, Faculty of Psychology and Speech Therapy, University of Valencia, 46010 Valencia, Valencian Community, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cassandra Borges","family":"Bortolon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Postgraduate Program in Psychiatry and Medical Psychology, Federal University of S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo 04021-001, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helena Maria Tannhauser","family":"Barros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Toxicology and Pharmacology Postgraduate Program in Health Sciences, Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre, Porto Alegre 90050-170, RS, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9","DOI":"10.1080\/09687637.2016.1189876","article-title":"How does the common core to the harm experienced by affected family members vary by relationship, social and cultural factors?","volume":"24","author":"Orford","year":"2017","journal-title":"DrugsEduc.
