  1. Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS)
    Source: University of South Florida (USF)
    Date Published: 1994
    Format: Text
    Annotation: The Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) is a 36-item, nine-facet scale to assess employee attitudes about the job and aspects of the job. Each facet is assessed with four items, and a total score is computed from all items. Although the JSS was originally developed for use in human service organizations, it is applicable to all organizations. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

  2. Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS)
    Source: University of South Florida (USF)
    Format: PDF
    Annotation: This tool measures impairment in functioning. The scale generates four scores: a work disability score, a social life disability score, a family life disability score, and a total score. The Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) (Sheehan, 1983) is a composite of three self-rated items designed to measure the extent to which three major sectors in the patient's life are impaired by panic, anxiety, or phobic or depressive symptoms. The SDS utilizes an anchored visual analog scale that uses visual-spatial, numeric, and verbal descriptive anchors simultaneously to assess disability across the previously described domains (work, social life, and family life). The scale was thus designed because some people rate numerically ("he was 1.9 meters tall"), others use verbal descriptive anchors ("he was very tall"), and still others communicate their rating spatio-visually (using their hands to point while commenting "he was this tall"). This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

  3. Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I. or MINI)
    Source: University of South Florida (USF)
    Format: Text
    Annotation: The Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I. or MINI) is a short structured diagnostic interview, developed jointly by psychiatrists and clinicians in the United States and Europe, for DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition) and ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th rev.) psychiatric disorders. With an administration time of approximately 15 minutes, it was designed to meet the need for a short but accurate structured psychiatric interview for multi-center clinical trials and epidemiology studies, and to be used as a first step in outcome tracking in non-research clinical settings. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
