Clinical context

SCREEM surveys the family resources available to cope with illness across six domains — Social, Cultural, Religious, Economic, Educational and Medical. This brief SCREEM-RES version rates one item per domain from 0 (strongly disagree) to 3 (strongly agree) for a total of 0–18.

Use it when care needs are long-term or patients struggle with adherence: scores of 13–18 indicate adequate resources, 7–12 moderately inadequate, and 0–6 severely inadequate — guiding referrals to financial aid, health education and community supports.

Brief SCREEM-RES — rate agreement (0 = strongly disagree … 3 = strongly agree)

Social: Our friends, neighbours and community are helpful to our family.

Cultural: Our culture gives our family strength and support.

Religious: Our faith / religion is helpful to our family.

Economic: Our family income / savings is sufficient for our needs.

Educational: Our knowledge is enough to understand and manage the illness.

Medical: Medical help is readily available in our community.
