Developing a Validated Family-School Partnership Assessment for Child Health and Well-Being: A Multidimensional Approach.
Background: Family-school partnerships (FSPs) play an important role in supporting child health and well-being. The current study aimed to develop and validate a psychometrically sound instrument to assess FSPs within the context of child health.
Methods: The instrument was developed through a mixed-methods three-phased approach, including pilot testing with 105 parent/caregiver (n = 53) and school staff (n = 52) participants. Analytic methods included principal component analysis (PCA) followed by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) that used polychoric correlations.
Results: Results of the PCA and EFA analyses refined the instrument to 24 items across two factors: communication, engagement, and culture (14-items), and opportunities and supports for family engagement (10-items).
Implications for school health policy and practice: The Family-School Partnership Assessment (FSPA) offers a validated framework to enhance school health initiatives through improved partnership strategies. The FSPA promotes inclusive practices and structured approaches for collaborative family engagement.
Conclusions: The FSPA is a feasible and psychometrically valid measure for assessing FSPs within the context of child health.
