Caregiver Strain Questionnaire-Adoption/Guardianship Form
Description:
The Caregiver Strain Questionnaire-Adoption/Guardianship Form (CGSQ-FC/AG22) is an adapted version of the Caregiver Strain Questionnaire (Brannan, Helfinger & Bickman, 1997). This 22-item measure is a self-report measure that assesses the extent to which caregivers experience additional demands, responsibilities, and difficulties as a result of caring for a child who is in foster care, legal guardianship, or who was adopted. The scale includes two subscales that measure objective and subjective strain. Higher scores indicate higher levels of strain.
