Re: seeking an instrument for assessment of physical health

["Anna Hagemeister" <AHAGEMEI@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My suggestions about this would be to look at some of the Nursing, Public Health Nursing, and Developmental Pediatrics instruments. There are probably a few key instruments in that literature that would be fairly quick.

We are conducting interviews with foster parents and caseworkers about the 
well being of children (ages infant to 18) in foster care. We have 
standardized assessments related to development (motor skills, communication, 
socialization)in children under the age of 6 years, and we have instruments 
related to mental health. We are interested in identifying any instrument that 
could be used with this population to assess physical health of children of 
all ages. We would like the administration time to be 10 minutes or less. Any 
information would be very much appreciated. Thank you - Christina Bruhn
