  am aware of several instruments that tap parental attitudes towards their 
  children and towards service providers. I am wondering if there are normed 
  instruments that are designed for time series that measure attitudes towards 
  community and towards nearby supports (family, peers, church, 
  neighbors).&nbsp;<BR>&nbsp;<BR>-- --&nbsp;<BR>Tom Hanna,
