BRFSS (Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System) Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Module
Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)Date Published: 3/2/2016Format: PDFAnnotation: The BRFSS (Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System) Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) module was adapted from the original CDC-Kaiser ACE Study and is used to collect information on child abuse and neglect, and household challenges. Childhood experiences, both positive and negative, have a tremendous impact on future violence victimization and perpetration, and lifelong health and opportunity. The ACE score, a total sum of the different categories of ACEs reported by participants, is used to assess cumulative childhood stress. Study findings repeatedly reveal a graded dose-response relationship between ACEs and negative health and well-being outcomes across the life course. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

Caregiver Self-Assessment Questionnaire
Source: American Medical Association (AMA)Date Published: 7/2014Format: PDFAnnotation: The Caregiver Health Self-Assessment Questionnaire was originally developed and tested by the American Medical Association. The questionnaire can help caregivers look at their own behavior and health risks. With their healthcare provider's help, this questionnaire can also help caregivers make decisions that may benefit both the caregiver and the older person. The questionnaire can help healthcare providers to identify and provide preventive services to an at-risk population that may be hidden. It may also improve communication and enhance the healthcare provider-caregiver health partnership.

Children's Depression Inventory 2
Source: Multi-Health Systems, Inc. (MHS)Date Published: 2014Format: PDFAnnotation: The Childhood Depression Inventory (CDI) 2 is a revision of the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI). The CDI 2 can be used in both educational and clinical settings to evaluate depressive symptoms in children and adolescents. The CDI 2 is a comprehensive multi-rater assessment of depressive symptoms in youth aged 7 to 17 years. When results from the CDI 2 are combined with other sources of verified information, the CDI 2 can aid in the early identification of depressive symptoms, the diagnosis of depression and related disorders, as well as, the monitoring of treatment effectiveness.
The CDI 2 quantifies depressive symptomatology using reports from children/adolescents (full-length and short); teachers, and parents (or alternative caregivers). It can be administered and scored using paper-and-pencil format with MHS Quikscoreâ„¢ forms, or online through the MHS Online Assessment Center. The CDI 2 can also be scored using scoring software.

Athens Insomnia Scale
Source: University of TorontoDate Published: 9/2013Format: PDFAnnotation: Insomnia is widely measured using the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS). Insomnia is measured by assessing eight factors: five factors are related to nocturnal sleep, and three factors are related to daytime dysfunction. These measures are rated on a 0-3 scale, and the sleep is finally evaluated from the cumulative score of all factors and reported as an individual's sleep outcome. AIS is considered to be an effective tool in sleep analysis, and is validated in various countries based on local patients.
