Measures

In this section you will find lists, by measurement category, of all questionnaires, assays, and other assessment tools that were used in the Pittsburgh Mind-Body Center Study (PMBC).  In the navigational pane located in the left column of this page are separate links for

• Assessments of Infection and Colds
• Behavior and Affect in Quarantine
• Biological Pathways
• Demographics
• Daily Interviews
• Health Practices
• Self-Reported Health
• Psychological and Social Measures

When you click on a category link, you will be taken to a table containing all of the constructs comprising that category that were assessed during PMBC.  In most cases, individual constructs within the table will 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.
