The Functional Behavior Profile (FBP)
The Functional Behavior Profile (FBP) comprises 27 items concerning performance of daily activities by the cognitively impaired individual. The items are sectioned into three areas: Task Performance, Problem Solving, and Social Interaction. Each item is rated from 0 (never) to 4 (always) according to the subject’s behavior over the past 7 days. The checklist may be completed by the therapist by interviewing the primary caregiver or by the caregiver independently. Administration of the test takes, on average, 15 minutes. The FBP yields three scores for the factors of Task Performance,...
Four Square Step Test (FSST)
According to the CDC, in 2001, nearly 12,000 people age 65+ died from fall-related injuries. It is apparent that a clinical assessment tool that will detect the complex nature related to balance and falls in the elderly population before, as well as after sustaining a fall, is necessary. One instrument developed to do this is the Four Square Step Test (FSST). This is a timed test, intended to perturb the rapid change in direction while stepping forward, backward and sideways over a low obstacle.
The Sexual Experiences Long Form Perpetration (SES-LFP)
The Sexual Experiences Survey (SES) was originally developed in the late 1970s (Koss & Oros, 1982) aiming to serve as a measure of prevalence, selection tool, predictor variable, and outcome measure in psychological, criminological, and health research settings.
Ashworth Scale /Modified Ashworth Scale (AS/MAS)
In the original Ashworth Scale, resistance to passive movement about a joint with varying degrees of velocity is measured on a scale of 0 (no resistance) to 4 (rigidity). In the modified Ashworth Scale, a 1+ scoring category is added to indicate resistance through less than half of the movement (Bohannon & Smith, 1987).
Participation Survey of Mobility Limited people (PARTS/M)
Items on the Participation Survey of Mobility Limited people (PARTS/M) were designed using interviews with 15 experts of mobility impairments. These interviews were complemented the input of 15 focus groups. The PARTS/M has been tested with mobility-impaired individuals across diagnoses, including; stroke, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and spinal chord injury. PARTS/M may be a useful measure of some components of participation in major life activities for people with mobility limitations in the community setting.
Sexual Experiences Survey - Long Form Victimization (SES-LFV)
Mary P. Koss and the Sexual Experiences Survey (SES) Collaboration have designed an instrument capable of reflecting hidden cases of rape and of measuring aggressive or coercive sexual acts and victimization on a dimensional scale. The SES surveys examines degrees of coercion used or experienced in sexual activity. All versions of the revised SES measure behavior that meets legal definitions of various sex crimes, with the exception of acts accomplished by verbal coercion not involving threats of physical harm. The acts accomplished by coercion are certainly on the sexual assault spectrum...
Sexual Experiences Survey - Short Form Perpetration (SES-SFP)
All versions of the revised Sexual Experiences Survey (SES) measure behaviour that meets legal definitions of various sex crimes, with the exception of acts accomplished by verbal coercion not involving threats of physical harm. The acts accomplished by coercion are certainly on the sexual assault spectrum and they are of interest in many fields and settings, but it is important to clearly understand that they are not crimes. Feminist legal scholars argue that these acts should be forms of attempted rape and rape and recommend changing statutory definitions of rape as a goal for advocate...

Studies to Treat Or Prevent Pediatric Type 2 Diabetes - Fruit, Juice, & Vegetable Self-Efficacy (STOPP-T2D BCM-FJV SE)
A burgeoning concern among health care researchers and interventionists is the surge in incidence of type 2 diabetes in youth both in the US and overseas. "Knowing the consequences of type 2 diabetes in adults for micro- and macro-vascular disease progression, and knowing the impact of adequate treatment and management on those consequences, medical science seeks to broaden the scope of research to include this neglected and increasing population of patients.
HEALTHY was conducted in 42 middle schools at 7 field centers. Schools were randomized to either the intervention or control....
Clinical Simulation Evaluation Tool (CSET)
Despite the growing popularity of patient simulators as educational tools in the medical field, there is still scant empirical support delimiting their efficacy. A study by Radhakrishnan, Roche, & Cunningham (2007) set out to answer some of these questions by using the Clinical Simulation Evaluation Tool (CSET) to measuring specific nursing clinical practice parameters among a group of students who had been trained with the Human Patient Simulator (HPS). Five main areas of performance were measured: basic assessment skills, safety, prioritization, problem-focused assessment, ensuing...
