1. SF (Short Form)-12v2 Health Survey
Source: Optum, Inc.
Date Published: 2011
Format: Text
Annotation: The 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) contains 12 questions that were all selected from the SF-36 Health Survey. The questions were combined, scored, and weighted to create two scales that provide glimpses into mental and physical functioning and overall health-related quality of life. The SF-12 provides a solution to the problem faced by many investigators who must restrict survey length. The instrument was designed to reduce respondent burden while achieving minimum standards of precision for purposes of group comparisons involving multiple health dimensions. The SF-12 was developed for the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS), a multi-year study of patients with chronic conditions. The SF-12v2 is a generic measure and does not target a specific age or disease group. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

2. Asthma Control Test (ACT)
Source: Optum, Inc.
Date Published: 2004
Format: Text
Annotation: The development of the Asthma Control Test (ACT) follows a paradigm shift in the treatment of asthma, from a focus on asthma severity to asthma control. Specifically, ACT helps identify and detect asthma patients who are not well controlled. It was designed with input from asthma experts who helped establish cut-point scores to improve the clinical utility of the survey. Minimal important differences (MID) were also established for the ACT to assist in the interpretation of the significance of score changes over time. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
