To understand and fully incorporate low-income, multiproblem families into treatment, clinicians need a comprehensive yet efficient assessment tool that addresses both family resources and stressors and privileges the family's voice. The Family Inventory of Resources and Stressors (FIRST) is a broad-based family assessment measure developed to address this need. This study, using clinical, nonclinical, and at-risk populations, examined the factor structure and utility of the FIRST as well as the role of defensive answering. Results indicate that the FIRST has an adequate factor structure and that families find the measure useful and worthwhile. Implications for professionals working with low-income, multiproblem families are discussed
