Practitioner's Guide to Empirically-Based Measures to Depression,
the first volume in a series of clinical assessment handbooks, is
intended to guide clinicians and researchers in choosing practical
tools relevant for clinical assessment, intervention, and/or
research in this area. This volume provides critical overviews of
key assessment issues and available assessment tools in depression.
It provides summary tables comparing and contrasting different
instruments in terms of their time requirements, suitability,
costs, administration, reliability, and validity. These quick view
grids' provide a rapid method of identifying and comparing
potentially useful measures. Sample copies of 25 instruments in the
public domain are included; for instruments commercially available,
samples of instrument content and information about how to purchase
them are provided. This remarkable compendium of information should
serve as a valuable resource to practicing clinicians and to
researchers who wish to develop state-of-the-science assessment
strategies for clinical problems and to make informed choices about
which devices best suit their purposes.
Emerging researchers are often surprised to learn that instrument
selection is a complex and important step in the process of
research design. The first of its kind, this concise
guide explains how to identify appropriate instruments,
select the best ones for the job, and properly describe the
instruments so that others will know how and why they were chosen.
Each chapter in the book focuses on a specific aspect of instrument
selection, with illuminating examples and helpful worksheets to
fill out along the way. Topics include pinpointing what to
measure, types of instruments, resources for identifying
instruments, organizing information and taking notes, describing
instruments for different audiences, ethical issues, considerations
around individual differences and diversity, consulting with
advisors, and troubleshooting. Â This book is part of APA's
Concise Guides to Conducting Behavioral, Health, and Social Science
Research series. Aimed at undergraduate students in research
methods courses or others with a lab or research project, each book
describes a key stage in the research process. Collectively, these
books provide a solid grounding in research from start to finish.
