Abstract
SCORE-15 is a self-report instrument with 15 items which purpose is to measure family functioning. It was created in the United Kingdom and has been adapted in different European countries. Nevertheless, there are no studies about its psychometric properties in Latin America. Therefore, the aim of this research is to examine its psychometric properties in Peruvian population. For this, the original version of SCORE-15 was translated into Spanish using the double translation method. Subsequently, an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was carried out. The results show that SCORE-15 has two dimensions with adequate reliability, which is invariant according to sex and age. Likewise, the divergent and convergent validity was verified. In conclusion, the SCORE-15, in its Peruvian version, is a brief tool with good psychometric properties for evaluation of family functioning and can be used by researchers or psychotherapist in their clinical practice.
