The Family-of-Origin Scale for adolescents (FOS) is a 40-item ten subscale instrument designed to assess perceived psychological health in the respondent's family. To date, the FOS has been used exclusively with white adolescents. The FOS was administered concurrently with the Langner Symptom Survey (LSS), a measure of adjustment, to 135 African-American adolescents. The LSS exhibited moderate, yet significant, correlations with the FOS: A total score, two superordinate dimensions, and six subscales. The results lend modest support for the construct validity of the FOS.
