Psychological Measures for Asian American Population
Tools for Direct Practice and Research http://www.columbia.edu/cu/ssw/projects/pmap

Psychosocial Measures for Asian American Populations: Tools for Direct Practice and Research is a new web resource available to practitioners and researchers working with Asian and Pacific Islander children, adults, and families. The site features abstracts of clinical and research measures validated with API populations. Each measure is described in terms of its purpose and languages into which it has been translated. Scale means, standard deviations are presented for API populations along with reliability and validity estimates. Measures are categorized in terms of ethnic population and whether the measure is suitable for adults or children. Finally, information on how to obtain a copy of the measure is given.

In addition to being an informational resource, the purpose of this web-site is to form a network of practitioners and researchers working to identify and describe the strengths, needs, and experiences of API communities.
