The Latin American recovery movement is in what could be considered as its infancy, and it is particularly underdeveloped in Argentina. This new concept of recovery should be introduced with appropriate measurement instruments that can identify and evaluate the recovery process and assist providers during treatment. Thus, the present study aims to explore the feasibility and psychometric properties of the Recovery Assessment Scale (RAS) for assessing recovery in Argentina. Three hundred and thirty-seven people with mental illness were recruited from a private mental health institution in Buenos Aires. Five factors were extracted with an exploratory factor analysis and confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. The final 21-item version showed good acceptability and feasibility, a high overall internal consistency and a reasonable factor structure. Future research in recovery should further address a construct validation of the Argentine version of the RAS and the implications of culture-specific aspects of recovery for measuring this construct, and differences among disorders in the self-report of recovery and its trajectory.
