  1. Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL)
    Source: Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA)
    Date Published: 2002
    Format: Text
    Annotation: The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) is a parent-report questionnaire on which the child is rated on various behavioral and emotional problems. It was first developed by Thomas M. Achenbach and has been one of the most widely-used standardized measures in child psychology for evaluating maladaptive behavioral and emotional problems in preschool subjects aged 2 to 3 or in subjects between the ages of 4 and 18. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

  2. Youth Self Report (YSR)
    Source: Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA)
    Date Published: 1991
    Format: Text
    Annotation: The Youth Self Report (YSR) protocol, a self-administered survey, was first developed by Thomas M. Achenbach and was derived from another widely-used standardized measure in child psychology, the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). The YSR was designed to assess the emotional and behavioral problems in adolescents in a standardized format. It assessed internalizing (i.e., anxiety, depression, and over-control) and externalizing (i.e., aggressive, hyperactivity, noncompliant, and under-controlling) behaviors. Different subscale symptoms were also measured, depending on one of three waves. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

  3. Family APGAR (Adaptability, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve) Index
    Source: Loyola University Chicago, Stritch School of Medicine (SSOM)
    Format: PDF
    Annotation: The Family Adaptability, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve (APGAR) index tool is widely used to study the relationship between family function and health problems in family practice offices. This measure consists of five parameters of family functioning: Adaptability, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve. The response options were designed to describe frequency of feeling satisfied with each parameter on a 3-point scale ranging from 0 (hardly ever) to 2 (almost always). This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
