Validation and Factor Analysis of the Child and Youth Resilience Measure for Indigenous Australian Boarding School Students.

Resilience is a strengths-based construct that is useful for understanding differences in health and wellbeing among youth.

However, standard international instruments should only be used if they have been subjected to a rigorous cross-cultural adaptation process and psychometric evaluation in the target population to ensure their validity.
