Cognitive Distortion Scales (CDS)
Source: Psychological Assessment Resources, Inc. (PAR)Date Published: 2000Format: TextAnnotation: This scale is used to assess negative thinking patterns that interfere with optimal functioning. The Cognitive Distortion Scales (CDS) were engineered to be brief and easily understandable to the average mental health client, to have modern psychometric properties, and to be applicable to a variety of clinical problems and etiologies. They measure five types of cognitive symptoms or distortions found among mental health clients and/or those who have experienced interpersonal victimization: Self-criticism, self-blame, helplessness, hopelessness, and preoccupation with danger. CDS scales are psychometrically reliable and have construct, predictive, and convergent validity in the standardization and validity samples.

Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)
Source: Columbia UniversityDate Published: 1999Format: TextAnnotation: The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) is a diagnostic tool for mental health disorders that is quick and easy for patients to complete. The PHQ questionnaire assesses the 15 most common physical symptoms in primary care. A shorter, alternative version of the PHQ, called the Brief PHQ, assesses depression, anxiety, psychological stressors, and women's reproductive health. The PHQ-9, a tool specific to depression, simply scores each of the nine DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition) criteria based on the mood module from the original PRIME-MD (Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders). There are also the PHQ-SADS, PHQ-2, PHQ-4, and PHQ-8. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
Ease of Use in Disaster Setting: Easy
Population: Adults Only
Length: 2-15 questions (many questions include subsets of questions), depending on version
Time to Complete: 3-10 minutes, depending on length/version
Administered by: Self Administered/Self Report
Special Considerations: Requires experienced clinician for interpretation of test results and inclusion of behavioral observation for diagnosis.

Many of the translations have been developed by the MAPI Group, http://www.mapigroup.com/, using an internationally accepted translation methodology. Thus, most of the translations are linguistically valid.
