Abstract

Introduction. People with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) could present risk behaviour that may lead to relapses. There are few instruments validated in our context to assess risk factors, but none takes into account several factors at the same time, and is specific for the risk of relapse. The objective of this work is to validate the Functional Analysis of Care Environments (FACE) Risk Profile into Spanish for people with SMI.

Methods. The sample consisted of 69 participants with SMI. The first evaluation was administered using a sociodemographic questionnaire, the FACE Risk Profile and psychometric instruments for clinical and psychosocial assessment. For the second evaluation, the FACE Risk Profile was re-administered.

Results. The FACE Risk Profile shows adequate internal consistency, good test-retest reliability and adequate concurrent and discriminant validity. The inter-rater agreement is very good.

Conclusions. The FACE Risk Profile is a useful and valid instrument for risk assessment in people with SMI.
