Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R)
Source: Pearson AssessmentsDate Published: 1994Format: TextAnnotation: The Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) is a 90-item self report symptom inventory developed by Leonard R. Derogatis in the mid-1970s to measure psychological symptoms and psychological distress. It is designed to be appropriate for use with individuals from the community, as well as individuals with either medical or psychiatric conditions. The SCL-90-R assesses psychological distress in terms of nine primary symptom dimensions and three summary scores termed global scores. This tool is a screening measure of general psychiatric symptomatology. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

Sickness Impact Profile (SIP)
Source: Johns Hopkins UniversityDate Published: 1994Format: TextAnnotation: The Sickness Impact Profile (SIP) is a 136-item self- or interviewer-administered, behaviorally-based, health status questionnaire. This generic measure is used to evaluate the impact of disease on both physical and emotional functioning. Everyday activities in 12 categories (sleep and rest, emotional behavior, body care and movement, home management, mobility, social interaction, ambulation, alertness behavior, communication, work, recreation and pastimes, and eating) are measured. Respondents endorse items that describe themselves and are related to their health. Patients are asked to respond to the items as they are on that day. The SIP is scored according to the number and type of items endorsed. Scoring can be done at the level of categories and dimensions, as well as at the total SIP level. The measure has also been used in patients with COPD and asthma. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

Questionnaire on the Experience and Evaluation of Work (QEEW)
Source: SKBDate Published: 1994Format: TextAnnotation: After 20 years of intensive usage, the Questionnaire on the Experience and Evaluation of Work (QEEW2.0) has grown into a unique set of brief survey scales. It is a versatile set of scales that is easily applicable in many practical settings, but which has also proven useful in scientific studies on the functioning of human capital in organizations. Psychosocial work characteristics are measured with scales to assess fatigue during work, need for recovery after work, symptoms of distress, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The prevalence of self-reported mental health complaints is determined using the cut-off
values. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
