The Recovery Assessment Scale (RAS) is one of the most used recovery measures in recovery-oriented practice evaluation of people with mental health conditions. Although its psychometric properties have been extensively studied, one critical piece of information that is missing from the literature is evidence of its longitudinal factorial invariance-that is, whether the RAS measures the same recovery construct across time. The authors empirically tested the longitudinal factorial invariance assumption for the RAS.
