    This document appears to be a family functioning questionnaire developed by Smilkstein in 1978. It contains 5 questions about an individual's satisfaction with different aspects of support and interaction within their family. Respondents are asked to choose between response options of "Always", "Sometimes", and "Hardly Ever" to indicate how frequently each statement applies. The scores are then totaled, with higher totals suggesting a more highly functional family and lower scores indicating increasingly dysfunctional family functioning.
