Q. Can you point me to some resources on Health Measurement Scales, please?

Health scales or indices are composite tools aiming to measure a variety of clinical conditions, behaviours, attitudes and beliefs that are difficult to be measured quantitatively.

 

Check out the library books below aimed at clinicians and allied health professionals:

 

  1. Health Measurement Scales: A practical guide to their development and use
  2. Measuring health: a review of quality of life measurement scales
  3. Measuring health : a review of subjective health, well-being and quality of life measurement scales

 

Both research and clinical decision making rely on measurement scales. These scales vary with regard to their psychometric properties, ease of administration, dimensions covered by the scale, and other properties. This article reviews the main psychometric characteristics of scales and assesses their utility.
