- Description
- Health and Psychosocial Instruments features material on unpublished measurement tools
discussed in the journal literature. This material includes
questionnaires, interview schedules, tests, checklists, rating and other scales, coding schemes,
and
projective techniques. Over 2/3 of the tools are in medical and nursing areas such as
pain
measurement, quality of life assessment, and drug efficacy evaluation. In addition to
medical
measurement instruments, HaPI presents information about tests used in medically related
disciplines
including psychology, social work, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech and
hearing
therapy.
HaPI is not a database of the full text of actual tests, but citations to information about
tests.
