Bibliographies and Databases


Risk Communication Bibliography
The Risk Communication Bibliography contains more than 650 references to published documents that address the communication of public health hazards. The citations and summaries in the Risk Communication Bibliography are an essential starting point for effectively measuring how risks are communicated to and understood by the public. The database includes documents that address the risks, prevention, and treatments of health hazards. Many documents contain information about illnesses, environmental conditions, and accidents.

The Halth and Psychosocial Instruments Database
The Health and Psychosocial Instruments (HAPI) database, from Ovid Technologies, provides information on measurement instruments including questionnaires, interview schedules, index measures, rating scales, coding schemes, and manuals in biomedicine and psychosocial sciences. HAPI helps researchers and health care practitioners to identify measurement instruments needed for research studies, grant proposals, patient assessment, and program evaluation. A typical HAPI record includes source and location information, validity and reliability information, the authors of the instrument, the year the instrument was created, and references to the published literature.
