Synopsis

Bringing together widely scattered information on health measurement techniques, this practical reference guide helps the reader choose, administer, and score available questionnaires rating scales. Reviewing 50 measurement instruments, it describes their purpose and conceptual basis, reliability and validity, and shows a copy of the scale. The book will be welcomed as much for its accurate and thorough descriptions as for its suggestions for improving the quality of current measurement techniques.
