OBJECTIVE: To investigate the psychometric properties of the BMSLSS among 522 college students. METHODS: Internal consistency reliability explored scale reliability, factor analysis explored construct validity, known-groups validity was assessed by use of items from the National College Youth Risk Behavior Survey and Harvard National Survey of Alcohol Use, and criterion-related validity was explored through analyses with the CDC's Health-Related Quality of Life Scale. RESULTS: Acceptable internal consistency reliability, construct, known-groups, and criterion-related validity were established. CONCLUSIONS: These findings offer preliminary support for the BMSLSS; it could serve as part of comprehensive evaluations of subjective QOL for program evaluation and/or policy purposes among college students.
