Dynamed (1995-present)
This database provides evidence-based clinical summaries of over 1800 clinical topics for the health professional.
Health and Psychosocial
Instruments (HaPI) (1985-present)
"...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 sychosocial 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 HaPI; in that case, order information will included in the
abstract), 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 itself.
