Repository of Useful Scales

Here you will find a list of scales and measures that could be useful in measuring outcomes in recovery community centers (RCCs) and studies on RCCs. We included several of these scales in our nationwide survey of RCC directors.  This paper summarizes their thoughts on these measures.

In the list below, we grouped scales into conceptual groups.  For each scale, you can open a PDF containing the following information:

  • Name of scale

  • Citation(s) for scale

  • Verbatim items on the scale, as presented to study participants

  • Scoring instructions, as used by the research team

If you would like more information on any of the listed scales, or would like to suggest scales, please email recoveryseminars@mgh.harvard.edu
