%X introduction: this study presents the development and validation of the inventory of outcome expectancy in marijuana users (invent¨¢rio de expectativas de resultados em usu¨¢rios de maconha, ierum), which evaluates the outcome expectancy regarding marijuana use, and may be useful in the treatment and prognosis of marijuana-dependent individuals. method: the sample comprised 181 male (n = 145) and female (n = 36) marijuana users. their age ranged from 18 to 55 years old (28.34¡À8.57). one hundred and eighteen patients were hospitalized at a chemical dependency unit, 23 were being treated in an outpatient clinic, 25 were receiving treatment in a self-help group (drug addicts anonymous, alcoholic anonymous), and 15 were not being treated. the 17-item scale was developed based on the experience related to chemical dependency and scale validation, with the semantic validation being the first phase of the process. results: according to the factor analysis, the ierum was divided into five factors (emotional aspects, perception, craving, cognitive aspects, and sexual aspects) that accounted for 60.18% of the variance. conclusion: the ierum showed good psychometric properties and can be used to evaluate the outcome expectancy related to marijuana use.
