  1. Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER) Toolkit: Second Edition
    Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Environmental Health (CDC NCEH)
    Format: PDF
    Annotation: The National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Division of Environmental Hazards and Health Effects, Health Studies Branch (DEHHE/HSB) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has developed the Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER) toolkit to assist personnel from any local, state, regional, or federal public health departments in conducting the CASPER during a disaster. The second edition was published 7/9/2012. One of the main objectives in developing this toolkit is to standardize the assessment procedures focusing on U.S. disaster response. The CASPER toolkit provides guidelines on data collection tool development, methodology, sample selection, training, data collection, analysis, and report writing. During a disaster, public health and emergency management professionals must be prepared to respond to and meet the needs of the affected public in a timely manner. HSB's rapid needs assessment toolkit can be used by public health practitioners and emergency management officials to determine the health status and basic needs of the affected community in a quick and low-cost manner. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

  2. Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER): Appendix B: Question Bank
    Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Environmental Health (CDC NCEH)
    Format: PDF
    Annotation: The purpose of this question bank from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Environmental Health, Health Studies Branch, is to provide potential questions that can be used in a Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER) questionnaire. The question bank is located in Appendix B (page 59) of the 2012 CASPER Toolkit. Additional questions may need to be created to satisfy the purpose of the CASPER. The questions in this bank have been previously used in CASPER questionnaires; in an effort to encourage standardization and the potential for meta-analysis across CASPERs, wording and response options are suggested. The resource is intended to serve as a bank of questions, not a template. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
