Behavioral medicine has now matured as a field to the point where
all recognize that different populations are presented with
different issues. Psychological reactions and patterns affect the
health and well-being of children, as well as adults, and numerous
standardized instruments for the assessment of a variety of areas
of children's functioning are currently available. Yet, it can be
difficult for practitioners and researchers searching through
general compendia of resources for child assessment--which are
frequently focused on general techniques rather than specific
instruments--to identify the optimal ones to meet their particular
needs and to choose among them.
This practical and comprehensive reference guide is the first to
sort, present, and review all the measures that can be used to
evaluate the behavioral, cognitive, and emotional aspects of
children's health. It organizes the measures under eight general
headings, such as quality of life, adherence, pain management, and
patient satisfaction. Each chapter begins with a leading
authority's overview of the underlying theoretical construct and
any concerns about how to measure it. Descriptions and reviews of
relevant instruments follow; these include information on
administration, scoring, psychometric properties, and ordering, as
well as comments by the instruments' developers.
"Assessing Children's Well-Being: A Handbook of Measures" will be
welcomed by all those professionals and scientists who seek to
assess and effectively address the complex interactions between
physical health and mental health in children.
