Development and psychometric properties of the Multidimensional Inventory of Recovery Capital (MIRC).

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundResearchers have developed several instruments to measure recovery capital-the social, physical, human, and cultural resources that help people resolve alcohol and other drug problems. However, existing measures are hampered by theoretical and psychometric weaknesses. The current study reports on process and psychometric outcomes for the Multidimensional Inventory of Recovery Capital (MIRC), a novel measure of recovery capital.
methodsWe used a three-phase, mixed methods approach to develop the MIRC. Individuals who identified as having resolved alcohol problems were recruited in each phase. Phase one focused on item development, with participants providing qualitative feedback on potential items. In phase two (pilot testing) and phase three (final psychometric evaluation), participants completed revised versions of the MIRC to assess its psychometric strength and item performance.
resultsPhase one (n=44) resulted in significant item alteration, culminating in a 48-item pilot measure. Pilot testing analyses (n=497) resulted in the deletion or replacement of 17 items. In the final psychometric evaluation (n=482), four additional items were deleted, resulting in a 28-item MIRC comprising four subscales measuring social, physical, human, and cultural capital. The psychometric properties of the final MIRC and its subscales ranged from sound to strong, with high response variability suggesting appropriate item discrimination.
conclusionResults confirm the psychometric strength of the MIRC and underscore the importance of incorporating the insights of diverse samples of people in recovery. The MIRC holds promise as an assessment tool in future research and is available for use at no cost in treatment and community-based settings.
