"...provides ready access to information on measurement instruments
(i.e., questionnaires, interview schedules, checklists, index measures,
coding schemes/manuals, rating scales, projective techniques, vignettes/scenarios,
tests) in the health fields and psychosocial sciences." The PS (Primary
Source) code indicates that the instrument was developed by the author(s)
of the cited article. A PS code is also used to indicate that an existing
instrument has been revised for the cited article. The SS (Secondary Source)
code indicates that the instrument was not developed by the author(s)
of the cited article.
Some of the instruments referenced are only available from commercial
sources (some are available for purchase from BMDS, the company that creates

but others are published in cited articles. Limiting a search by the PS
code (see above) is the most efficient way to search for the the instrument
