  1. Child Asthma Risk Assessment Tool (CARAT)
    Source: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases [National Institutes of Health] (NIAID)
    Format: Text
    Annotation: The Child Asthma Risk Assessment Tool (CARAT) provides a personal risk profile for a child with asthma. A detailed questionnaire looks at a variety of potential risks for a child and then reports on those factors affecting that child. It is designed to help clinicians, asthma counselors, and parents determine potential risks for children with asthma. The CARAT scores asthma risks on nine different factors. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
