Find Tools Using CINAHL Ultimate

The C.T. Carney Library at UMass Dartmouth has developed an extensive guide to using various databases to find data collection tools*.  Here is their suggestion to find instruments using CINAHL:

To find instruments about your research topic, use keywords about it in one or more of the search boxes. In the final box, try using this string of words: test* OR measure* OR survey* OR questionnaire* OR scale* OR batter* OR inventor* OR checklist* OR instrument* OR pretest* OR posttest* OR interview*. In the drop-down menu next to that search box, choose AB Abstract to search only the Abstract field.
