title: The Mannheim interview on social support psychometric characteristics of a Spanish version.
abstract: This study analysed the psychometric characteristics of a Spanish version of the Mannheim Interview on Social Support (MISS) with 82 mental health care centre outpatients. Moderate and high correlation coefficients were obtained on test-retest reliability for a 6 week interval. In addition, correlations with the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale and the Perceived Social Support scale confirmed an acceptable concurrent validity.
