This article describes the process used for translation, testing for reliability and validity, and establishing factor structure of a French version of Brown’s Support Behaviors Inventory (SBI-Fr). The objective was to provide an adequate self-report measure of satisfaction with social support during the perinatal period for use with a Francophone population in Québec, Canada. When compared with the English version, the French version had similar qualities regarding reliability and validity, but principal component analysis (N = 271) revealed that the SBI-Fr measures two distinct subscales, perceived satisfaction with partner’s and others’support. The availability of the SBI-Fr will facilitate the inclusion of Francophone respondents in studies of satisfaction with social support during the perinatal period and permit cross-cultural comparison between Francophone and other populations in not only Canada but also other Frenchspeaking countries.

Key Words: social support • satisfaction • perinatal period • at-risk pregnancy • high-risk pregnancy • instrument translation • French
