Objectives: Promoting recovery in mental health services is hampered by a shortage of reliable and valid measures, particularly in Hong Kong. We seek to cross validate two Chinese language measures of recovery and one of recovery-promoting environments. Method: A cross-sectional survey of people recovering from early episode psychosis (n = 121) and family members (n = 49) was taken. Two recovery measures, the Mental Health Recovery Measure and the recovery subscale of the Peer Outcomes Protocol, and one measure of recovery-promoting environments, the Recovery Self-Assessment, were used. The Psychosis Recovery Inventory was incorporated to assess construct validity. Results: Internal consistency reliability for each measure was high (r = 0.71-0.94); one-factor solutions were parsimonious. People in recovery rated their risk for relapse lower than did their family members. Conclusions: Moderately strong positive correlations among recovery measures lend support to construct validity. Several "recovery-promoting environment" items should be reassessed for cultural fit in Hong Kong.
