Currently, NLM is not updating the Disaster Information Management Research Center (DIMRC) website, and is limiting updates to the Disaster Lit database to COVID-19 related data collection tools found in the DR2.
We are no longer adding links to other new disaster-related information. The content of select resources from Disaster Lit will be digitized and made available through Digital Collections and Bookshelf.
Annotation:The Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ) was developed to fill the need for a comprehensive instrument for individuals with lower limb loss. The PEQ has been widely used in rehabilitation health service research settings. In recent years, other instruments have been developed that assess prosthetic use, factors facilitating prosthetic use, or the patient's ability to perform various skills. The PEQ remains a unique instrument with comprehensive multi-dimensional scales for evaluating both prosthesis function and prosthesis-related quality of life. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
