Family Resilience Scale for Veterans (FRS-V)

A measure of family resilience specifically developed to assess resources available for US veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, incorporating dimensions of communication, problem solving, emotional support, social support, goal orientation, and spirituality. Intended to capture family structures common among military families, as “those people who are most important in your daily life, not necessarily kin or blood relatives.” Psychometrically tested among veterans; future work to expand to all military families.
