Spanish Cannabis Withdrawal Checklist Validation Data from 82 Participants

82 participants from substance use treatment programs in Catalonia, Spain, were used to validate the Spanish version of the 15-item Cannabis Withdrawal Checklist. The dataset, created by Judith Saura and published in 2026, shows the scale demonstrated high internal consistency and a unidimensional factor structure. It was designed to assess withdrawal symptoms in Spanish-speaking adults who co-use cannabis and tobacco.

Use Cases

• Validate psychometric instruments for cannabis withdrawal based on the 15-item checklist structure.
• Assess the relationship between withdrawal intensity and level of cannabis use as described in the results.
• Monitor symptom change over time in clinical settings using the scale's sensitivity to change.
• Study co-occurring cannabis and tobacco use patterns in a Spanish clinical sample.

Strengths

• High internal consistency reported with Cronbach's alpha of 0.918 at baseline.
• Validation followed COSMIN recommendations for translation and psychometric testing.
• Data sourced from a multicenter longitudinal project across 10 treatment programs.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The sample size of 82 participants is relatively small for validation studies.
