abstract="This study evaluates an abbreviated version of the Hispanic Stress Inventory-Immigrant version (HSI-I) with a nonclinical sample of 143 adult Hispanic immigrants residing in a large midwestern city. The HSI-I consists of 73 items and 5 distinct subscales that assess psychosocial experiences on five dimensions, namely, occupational/economic, parental, marital, immigration, and familial/cultural. Five items with the greatest loading in each of the five sub-scales were aggregated to compose the abbreviated HSI-I. Exploratory factor analysis supports a two-factor structure that combines factors identified in previous research. Internal consistencies are acceptable across all subscales, ranging from .68 to .83. Convergent validity of the abbreviated HSI-I revised is supported with moderately positive relations through self-report measures of depression, anxiety, and anger mood levels. These findings provide initial support for the reliability and validity of the abbreviated HSI-I in Hispanic adults.<p />",
