An analysis of selected measures of child well-being for use at school-and community-based family resource centers.
This article describes standardized instruments designed to measure physical and emotional health outcomes among children for a statewide implementation of community-and school-based family resource centers. It includes descriptive and psychometric information, strengths and weaknesses of two measures of physical well-being, and four measures of emotional and behavioral well-being, based on criteria selected by the evaluation team. The authors conclude by recommending those instruments that accommodated the evaluation goals of the family support programs.
