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Health and Psychosocial Instruments features material on unpublished measurement tools discussed in the journal literature.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.
