Pandemic Asian Discrimination Scale

​

A measure regarding pandemic-related discrimination against Asians and Asian Americans was developed by the CARES 2020 Project (COVID-19 Adult Resilience Experiences Study) to better understand the prevalence of anti-Asian discrimination during the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers are welcome to use these measures within their research studies and may disseminate the instruments using a paper or online format. Should researchers choose to use these instruments, please maintain the integrity of instructions and items.

 

This measure should not be used for clinical purposes nor should it be used to inform clinical decision-making. Future evaluations are necessary to further establish its psychometric properties.

 

We are eager to learn about your findings and are open to future research collaborations. Should you choose to use the following measures, please contact the developers of these instruments by emailing Dr. Cindy H. Liu (chliu@bwh.harvard.edu) and Dr. Hyeouk “Chris” Hahm (hahm@bu.edu) with the following information:

• Principal Investigator(s); Purpose of Research Study; Study Population; Study Location

COVID-19-Related Worry and Grief Scales

​

Two brief measures regarding COVID-19-related experiences have been developed to better understand the psychological impact on individuals. The COVID-19-related worry scale is a 6-item measure that assesses individuals’ levels of worry in regard to common COVID-19 concerns, such as being able to obtain testing and treatment for COVID-19, maintaining employment and financial stability, and keeping in touch with loved ones despite social distancing guidelines. COVID-19-related grief scale is a 6-item measure that assesses feelings of grief and loss related to the pandemic, such as loss of daily routine or feeling stunned or dazed over what happened.

​

Researchers are welcome to use these measures within their research studies and may disseminate the instruments using a paper or online format. Should researchers choose to use these instruments, please maintain the integrity of instructions and items.

​

These measures should not be used for clinical purposes nor should they be used to inform clinical decision-making. Future evaluations are necessary to further establish the psychometric properties of each measure.
