Instrument information
is available among four resources: Instrument Reviews, Book Compendium Reviews, Internet Site Reviews, and Construct Reviews, which feature a topics summary and instrument summaries on the
often-used measurement tools for a given topic.
Use the construct menu below by selecting the area that you are interested in measuring. There are four
domains within which you will find constructs: Disease-specific Outcomes, Generic Outcomes,
Organizational Variables, and Utilization Variables. Choosing a construct from the menu below will take you
to its section in the matrix. Once at the construct row, simply move across the columns to see in
which resources METRIC has instrument information, or click on a "Read Overview" tag appearing directly
