Assessment Databases
This repository for ready-to-use tests and measures from the APA features instruments that are relevant to psychology and related fields, such as psychiatry, education, medicine, business, social work and more. International in scope, this resource provides access to thousands of actual test instruments, most of which are available for immediate download and use in teaching and research.
HaPI is a database that provides access to information on approximately 15,000 measurement instruments (i.e. questionnaires, interview schedules, checklists, coding schemes, rating scales, etc.) in the fields of health and psychosocial sciences. The full-text of the instruments are not included in the database; however, HaPI can be used to:
• Discover what instrument exists
• Determine the availability of reliability and validity evidence
•Track the history of an instrument over time;
•See what other instruments have already developed in your field of study;
•Locate ordering information for a known instrument.
Search both the MMY and TIP with one search. Reviews testing instruments and identifies available tests currently in print.

In general, when looking for specific types of studies, put the type of the study in quotation marks. Remember you can further limit by date range or by adding another term.
Add another element, such as a subject term, to limit results to a set that is focused on a particular topic. Then, limit by date range if desired.
To locate research studies with by assessment measure rating, employ the following search strategies in Google Scholar. Remember you can further limit by date range or by adding another term.
