Abstract
Caregivers of children in child welfare encounter many unique challenges, increasing their potential risk for caregiver stress. To support children and their caregivers, providers must accurately assess caregiver stress before they can deliver a brief intervention or make an appropriate referral. The current study utilized the PedsQL Family Impact Module to assess foster and kinship caregiver’s well-being. Method: This study assessed the construct validity of PedsQL FIM through confirmatory factor analysis, mean differences between medically complex and noncomplex children, and its correlation with child behavior problems in caregivers of children in child welfare.
