Review:
"A timely compendium and useful critique of measures of functional disability, psychological well-being, social adjustment, quality of life, and pain."--Issues in Science and Technology
"The thoroughness of the descriptions of the scales is impressive.... This book is a timely contribution to health measurement.... Highly recommended for your own bookshelf."-- Statistics in Medicine
"Each review is extremely well presented, and information seems to have been checked carefully . . . . Measuring Health has much to offer to researchers and clinicians in the social and medical sciences who are involved in, or who are looking into, formal evaluation of their own efforts."
--Social Indicators Research
"Uniform, readable. . . .Undoubtedly the best coverage of health indicators, scales for activities of daily living, social disability scales and pain inventories." --British Journal of Psychiatry
"This is the first volume that I have encountered that presents and discusses health measurement instruments exclusively. . . .A highly useful reference work." --Social Work in Health Care
