The Eldercaring Conflict Checklist (ECC) was initially developed as a comprehensive 70‐item measure to assess eldercaring family conflicts. The ECC short‐form offers a more practical version for use by professionals while retaining psychometric integrity. Two studies involving a total sample of 354 family and eldercare professionals were combined to assess the newly created 28‐item ECC. Results found the short‐form reliable in terms of total score and across subdomains. Participants valued the ECC as a practical screening tool adaptable to diverse eldercaring contexts. Implications include more intentional selection of interventions for multigenerational families based on the severity and typology of conflicts identified
