Instrument Descriptions
The protocols used to measure individual and family characteristics for participants in the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN) consisted of several types of assessment instruments, including self-report questionnaires, structured interview formats and educational tests. A list of all instruments which comprised the protocols for Wave 1, Wave 2, and Wave 3 of the PHDCN, along with a brief description and selected citations for each measure, is provided below. Information listed here includes in which waves the protocol was conducted. For the most part, instruments conducted across multiple waves kept the same naming convention. In the cases where the titles of instruments changed from wave to wave but measured the same construct, multiple titles are listed (e.g. Conflict Tactics Scale for Parent and Child / Caregiver-Subject Conflict Scale).
