The purpose of the present study was to conduct an initial validation of the Positive Family Support--Strengths and Needs Assessment (PFS-SaNA) for elementary school children. The PFS-SaNA is designed as a universal screener wherein parents report on common areas their children may need additional support. Parents of children attending one elementary school participated in two consecutive years. A total of 627 parents of elementary school children participated (Year 1 = 368, Year 2 = 259). Exploratory factor analysis was conducted across Years 1 and 2 and a replicability test compared item loadings from Year 1 and Year 2. Finally, evidence of external validity was examined. Results suggested the PFS-SaNA is unidimensional with findings indicating item loadings replicated from Year 1 to Year 2. Finally, evidence of external validity was found. Implications for the PFS-SaNA as a universal parent screener that can be embedded in a multiple gating risk management strategy in elementary school are discussed.
