    Psychometric Properties of the Assessment of Recovery Capital (ARC) Instrument in a Diverse Low-Income Sample
    TLDR
    The ARC has substantial weaknesses in its theoretical alignment, item performance, and psychometric properties with diverse populations, and is recommended for the development of a new multidimensional, theory-aligned measure, following a rigorous measurement development protocol.
