  1. Exposure History Form
    Source: Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR)
    Format: PDF
    Annotation: This form is from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). Past and current exposures are recorded on Part 1 of an Exposure History Form, which is designed for easy completion by the patient and a quick scan for pertinent details by the clinician. The questions investigate changes in routines and work site characteristics; details about known toxicant exposure; known exposure to metals, dust, fibers, fumes, chemicals, physical agents, and biologic hazards; other persons affected; protective equipment use; and temporal patterns and activities. Part 2 of the Exposure History Form is a comprehensive inventory of hazardous exposures in the patient's present and past occupations. Part 3 of the form examines environmental history to exposure(s). This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

  2. ATSDR (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry) Rapid Response Registry Survey Form
    Source: Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR)
    Format: Text
    Annotation: The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Rapid Response Registry (ATSDR-RRR) survey instrument gives local, state, or federal entities a tool to register responders and other persons exposed to chemical, biological, or nuclear agents from a disaster. The survey instrument is a two-page form that can be distributed on paper or electronically. It can be implemented quickly to collect information to identify and locate victims and people displaced or affected by a disaster. This tool gathers information on the following areas: demographics (e.g., name, age, gender, home address, status, and place of employment), health information, exposure information, exposure-related health effects, immediate health/safety needs, and health insurance. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
