The PFS-2 assesses multiple protective factors that prevent child abuse and neglect. The PFS-2 is intended to help agencies and programs better assess changes in family protective factors and identify areas programs can focus efforts to strengthen protective factors. The PFS-2 is a 19-item, self-administered pretest and posttest or retrospective survey that measures protective factors in five areas: family functioning and resilience (items 1–3), nurturing and attachment (items 4a–8), social supports (items 9a–12), caregiver/practitioner relationship (items 13a–15), and concrete supports (items 16a–9).
