Emergency Nutrition Assessment (ENA)
Source: Action Against Hunger (ACF)Date Published: 7/9/2015Format: TextAnnotation: The purpose of the Emergency Nutrition Assessment (ENA) for Standardized Monitoring and Assessment of Relief and Transitions (SMART) is to make nutrition assessments and mortality rate calculations in emergency situations as easy and reliable as possible. It focuses on the most important indicators (anthropometric and mortality data), checks the plausibility of the entered data, and gives out an automatic report. Since the software cannot explain why children are malnourished or mortality rates are high, the results of the survey have to be complemented with other information (e.g., from the Food Security part of ENA or discussions with key informants); collection of this additional information on the household level has a high risk to reduce the quality of the anthropometric and mortality data. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

Internality, Powerful Others, and Chance Scales (IPC)
Source: Levenson Institute for TrainingDate Published: 1981Format: PDFAnnotation: People have different feelings about their vulnerability to crisis events. This scale addresses the degree to which people feel they have control, feel others have control, or feel that chance has control of what happens to them. The Internality, Powerful Others, and Chance Scales assess the degree to which people believe that they have control over their lives, the degree to which they believe that other people control events in their lives, and the degree to which they believe that chance affects their experiences or outcomes. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
