Link List for Survey Instruments and Measures
Health Services Research and Development Service (HSR&D) Measurement Resource Archive
HSR&D, in the Department of Veteran's Affairs (VA), provides an extensive description of measures and instrument for conducing health services research. Hundreds of sources were evaluated, but only the most relevant instruments and measures for conducting VA Health Services Research are included. These are organized alphabetically, and also by construct.
Information on an instrument's purpose, development, a brief annotated bibliography, as well as data on psychometric performance, is available. Psychometric data were also evaluated, and recommendations or caveats are made for use in research settings. Actual instruments are not available, however, instructions on obtaining instrments are included.
The list was last updated as of June 2006.
National Cancer Institute (NCI): Health Services and Economics website
Part of NCIs Cancer Control and Population Sciences. This site provides tools for researchers, areas of research, surveys and studies, and research networks to give information on cancer in the specific areas of health services and economics.
National Coordinating Centre for Health Technology Assessment (NCCHTA): Development and validation of methods for assessing the quality of diagnostic accuracy studies
A report on the process of developing a quality assessment tool for reviews of diagnostic accuracy. The quality assessment tool designed by the study is available for download.
National Library of Medicine (NLM): Health Services and Sciences Research Resources (HSSR)
A summary of datasets, instruments/indices, and software used for analysis of health services research, public health, and the behavioral and social sciences.
Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS)
A free NSF infrastructure project that offers researchers opportunities to test their experimental ideas on large, diverse, randomly-selected subject populations. Investigators submit proposals for experimental studies, and TESS fields selected proposals on a random sample of the United States population using the Internet. A comprehensive, on-line submission and peer review process screens proposals for the importance of their contribution to science and society. A diverse team of leading scholars assist the co-PI's in administering the review process. TESS provides investigators an opportunity to run Internet-based experiments on a random, probability-based sample of the population. TESS thereby allows investigators to capture the internal validity of experiments while realizing the benefits of contact with large, diverse populations of research participants.
UW CHWS Health Workforce Questionnaires
The University of Washington Center for Health Workforce Studies has compiled questionnaires from various sources and organized them in the table below to assist policymakers, educators and researchers as they gather workforce data from health professionals.
