Measurement of mental health recovery knowledge and attitudes of professionals and students: development of the R-KAS tool
Adapted from the original RKI and refined with input from consumers, the newly developed R-KAS tool appears to be psychometrically sound for assessing recovery knowledge and attitudes among professionals and students. Initial findings indicate that the R-KAS is a reliable and valid measure that may better reflect recovery-oriented practices in contemporary mental health settings.
