Abstract
= 529) to demonstrate Prolific's utility for conducting psychometrically oriented substance use research. Internal consistency estimates for measures from the Prolific data matched or exceeded those from the undergraduate data. Furthermore, measure scores showed strong temporal stability, and factor structures (e.g., AUDIT item-level structures) conformed to theoretical expectations. Collectively, these findings indicate that Prolific can be used successfully for repeated measures data collection. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
