Measures
In this section you will find lists, by measurement category, of all questionnaires, assays, and other assessment tools that were used in the British Cold Study (BCS). In the navigational pane located in the left column of this page are separate links for
- Assessments of Infection and Colds
- Biological Pathways
- Demographics
- Health Practices
- Psychological and Social Measures
- Self-Reported Health
When you click on a category link, you will be taken to a table listing all of the constructs comprising that category that were assessed during BCS. In most cases, individual constructs within the table link to more detailed information on the assessment tool that we used to measure that construct. For each assessment tool, we provide a description of the instrument, information on scoring and derived variables, and when available, a primary reference and data on validity and reliability.
