Abstract
A new version of the Systemic Clinical Outcome Routine Evaluation (C-SCORE) was developed for use with couples to assess, plan and monitor progress in therapy. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of C-SCORE in an international community sample of 300 participants. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis showed that a twenty-two-item, five-factor version of C-SCORE best fit the data. The scale and its factor sub-scales had good internal consistency and test–retest reliability over a 1-month period. C-SCORE showed good concurrent and construct validity as evidenced by significant associations with other measures of couple relational functioning, mental health and wellbeing and self-rated couple issues. These promising findings require further validation with a clinical sample.
