Depression Self Rating Scale for Children
Source: Children and War FoundationFormat: TextAnnotation: The Birleson Depression Self Rating Scale for Children (DSRS) was developed in 1978 as part of a Masters of Philosophy Thesis at the University of Edinburgh. The DSRS was created for children between eight and 14 years of age. The DSRS contains 18 items that are rated on a three-point scale: mostly, sometimes, and never.

CAGE Questionnaire and CAGE-AID
Source: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC)Format: PDFAnnotation: The CAGE questionnaire is used to test for alcohol abuse and dependence in adults. CAGE is a mnemonic for four questions on Cutting down, Annoyance by criticism, Guilty feeling, and Eye-openers. The CAGE-AID (Adapted to Include Drugs) version of the tool has been adapted to include drug use. These tools are not used to diagnose diseases, but to indicate whether a problem might exist. The questions are most effective when used as part of a general health history and should NOT be preceded by questions about how much or how frequently the patient drinks or uses drugs. Scoring of the CAGE is instantaneous. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS): Version IV
Source: University of Florida (UF)Format: TextAnnotation: The Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS) allows trained lay interviewers or clinicians to make psychiatric diagnoses according to DSM-III (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 3rd Edition) criteria, Feighner criteria, and Research Diagnostic Criteria. The "Feighner criteria" and "Research Diagnostic Criteria" are standardized diagnostic criteria for various mental health/psychiatric disorders, developed and published between the 1950s-1970s. It is being used in a set of epidemiological studies sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health Center for Epidemiological Studies. The accuracy of DIS has been evaluated in a test-retest design comparing independent administrations by psychiatrists and lay interviewers. It is also called C DIS or Computerized Diagnostic Interview Schedule. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I. or MINI)
Source: University of South Florida (USF)Format: TextAnnotation: The Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I. or MINI) is a short structured diagnostic interview, developed jointly by psychiatrists and clinicians in the United States and Europe, for DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition) and ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th rev.) psychiatric disorders. With an administration time of approximately 15 minutes, it was designed to meet the need for a short but accurate structured psychiatric interview for multi-center clinical trials and epidemiology studies, and to be used as a first step in outcome tracking in non-research clinical settings.

PCL (PTSD [Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder] Checklist): Civilian Version (PCL-C); Military Version (PCL-M); Stressor Specific Version (PCL-S)
Source: National Center for PTSD [Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder] [U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs]Format: TextAnnotation: The PCL (PTSD [Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder] Checklist) is a 17-item self-report measure of the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition) symptoms of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). The PCL has a variety of clinical and research purposes, such as screening individuals for PTSD, aiding in the diagnostic assessment of PTSD, and monitoring change in PTSD symptoms. There are three versions of this measure: the civilian version (PCL-C), military version (PCL-M), and stressor specific version (PCL-S).
The PCL-C asks about symptoms in relation to generic "stressful experiences" and can be used with any population. This version simplifies assessment based on multiple traumas because symptom endorsements are not attributed to a specific event. In many circumstances, it is also advisable to assess traumatic event exposure to ensure that a respondent has experienced at least one event that meets DSM-IV Criterion A.
The PCL-M asks about symptoms in response to "stressful military experiences." It is often used with active service members and veterans.
The PCL-S asks about symptoms in relation to an identified "stressful experience."
The PCL-5 was developed to assess the 20 DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition) symptoms of PTSD. Several revisions were made to update the PCL for the DSM-V. There is not a corresponding civilian or military version for the PCL-5, and the scale was changed from 1-5 to 0-4. The increase in the number of questions and the change in the scale mean that the PCL-5 scores are not compatible with PCL scores, and the two cannot be used interchangeably. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
