OBJECTIVE: The misuse of @entity285 is related to numerous detrimental health effects. Research has determined @entity148 ( @entity148 ) to be a risk factor for problematic @entity285 use. To date, no studies have investigated this relationship using a bifactor model of @entity148 . This study used a bifactor model to determine the effects of the general @entity148 factor and the cognitive, physical, and social concerns subfactors on @entity285 -related outcomes. METHOD: The sample consisted of 329 @entity1 selected from a larger sample of individuals in a brief smoking-cessation intervention. Latent factor models were used to determine the effects of the bifactor model of @entity148 on @entity285 use behavior. RESULTS: The general @entity148 factor was significantly associated with @entity285 use problems but not @entity285 consumption. The @entity148 subfactors of cognitive, physical, and social concerns were not significantly related to either @entity285 variable. CONCLUSIONS: The findings are inconsistent with previous research that has found associations between the @entity148 subfactors and @entity285 -related outcomes. The use of a bifactor model of @entity148 allowed the variance associated with @entity148 to be parceled out of the subfactors, indicating that general @entity148 accounts for the relationship between @entity148 and @entity285 misuse.
