TL;DR: A Measure of Beliefs about Participation in Family-Centered Service that consists of 5 scales measuring beliefs about family-centered philosophy and principles, positive and negative outcomes, personal competencies, and barriers shows promise for use in the university preparation of service providers, professional development, clinical practice, and the evaluation of family- centered training programs and materials.
