Brief Description: |
Measures were modified from a brief assessment of basic needs (Blazer et al. 2005) and a subscale from the Personal Empowerment Scale (Segal et al. 1993) for use in disadvantaged populations. Likert-type items assess respondents' perceptions that their basic needs are met or will be met in the next month. Basic needs items include self-reported measures of sufficient food, adequate housing, personal safety, financial security and friendship stability. |
