Bailey, D., Raspa, M., Olmsted, M., Novak, S., Sam, AM., Humphreys, BP., Nelson, R., Robinson, N., & Guillen, C. (2011). Development and psychometric validation of the family outcomes survey-Revised. Journal of Early Intervention, 33(1), 6-23. https://doi.org/10.1177/1053815111399441
Few psychometrically valid scales exist to assess family outcomes and the helpfulness of early intervention. This article describes the development and psychometric properties of the Family Outcomes Survey-Revised. The revision was prompted by the need to (a) create a new format that would be easier for parents to understand, (b) revise and expand the survey items to provide more information for states to use in planning for program improvement, and (c) demonstrate acceptable psychometric properties. Input from stakeholders and experts was used to identify concepts and develop candidate items. Data from a web-based survey conducted with 265 families in Illinois and Texas were used to assess the psychometric properties of candidate items. These activities produced a revised survey with sound psychometric integrity that can be used to document family outcomes and identify areas for program improvement
