Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL)
Source: Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA)Date Published: 2002Format: TextAnnotation: The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) is a parent-report questionnaire on which the child is rated on various behavioral and emotional problems. It was first developed by Thomas M. Achenbach and has been one of the most widely-used standardized measures in child psychology for evaluating maladaptive behavioral and emotional problems in preschool subjects aged 2 to 3 or in subjects between the ages of 4 and 18. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

Youth Self Report (YSR)
Source: Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA)Date Published: 1991Format: TextAnnotation: The Youth Self Report (YSR) protocol, a self-administered survey, was first developed by Thomas M. Achenbach and was derived from another widely-used standardized measure in child psychology, the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). The YSR was designed to assess the emotional and behavioral problems in adolescents in a standardized format. It assessed internalizing (i.e., anxiety, depression, and over-control) and externalizing (i.e., aggressive, hyperactivity, noncompliant, and under-controlling) behaviors. Different subscale symptoms were also measured, depending on one of three waves. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

Brief Impairment Scale (BIS)
Source: American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)Date Published: 2005Format: PDFAnnotation: The Brief Impairment Scale (BIS) is multi-dimensional scale of functional impairment for children and adolescents. The instrument is conducted on the parent of the child and evaluates the child's three domains of functioning: interpersonal relations, school/work functioning, and self-care/self-fulfillment. It capitalizes on the strengths of existing global measures while addressing some of their limitations. Researchers conclude that the BIS is psychometrically sound and useful in assessments, as well as an outcome measure, in both clinical practice and research.

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.

Acceptance and Action Questionnaire II (AAQ-II)
Source: Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS)Date Published: 2011Format: PDFAnnotation: The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire II (AAQ-II) was developed to establish an internally consistent measure of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)'s model of mental health and behavioral effectiveness. When ACT was originally developed, the overarching term for its underlying model was experiential avoidance: the attempt to alter the form, frequency, or situational sensitivity of negative private events (e.g., thoughts, feelings, and physiological sensations), even when doing so leads to behavioral difficulties. Acceptance was the term used to positively describe this model; it is defined as the willingness to experience (i.e., not alter the form, frequency, or sensitivity of) unwanted private events, in the pursuit of one's values and goals.
