  1. Sickness Impact Profile (SIP)
    Source: Johns Hopkins University
    Date Published: 1994
    Format: Text
    Annotation: The Sickness Impact Profile (SIP) is a 136-item self- or interviewer-administered, behaviorally-based, health status questionnaire. This generic measure is used to evaluate the impact of disease on both physical and emotional functioning. Everyday activities in 12 categories (sleep and rest, emotional behavior, body care and movement, home management, mobility, social interaction, ambulation, alertness behavior, communication, work, recreation and pastimes, and eating) are measured. Respondents endorse items that describe themselves and are related to their health. Patients are asked to respond to the items as they are on that day. The SIP is scored according to the number and type of items endorsed. Scoring can be done at the level of categories and dimensions, as well as at the total SIP level. The measure has also been used in patients with COPD and asthma. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
