Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire-Revised (PAR-Q; Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology, 2002). The PAR-Q asks 7 health-related questions to determine whether a person needs to consult with their physician prior to engaging in an exercise program.

The peer delinquency scale of the Pittsburgh Youth Study Interview comprises 15 questions rated on a 5-point scale (1 = none to 5 = all) concerning the number of friends of the subject that have engaged in a variety of antisocial and delinquent behaviors over the past 6 months. Behaviors rated range in severity from minor infractions to serious and violent crimes against others. These behaviors range from skipping school without an excuse, to using weapons, lying or disobeying adults, damaging property, or using force to commit robbery.

This assessment includes physical, sexual and emotional abuse items. In each domain the participant is asked to report: lifetime occurrence (YES/NO); lifetime frequency (4-point scale from once to regularly); need for medical treatment (YES/NO); use of medical treatment (YES/NO); length of time since last occurrence; occurrence with main partner (YES/NO); occurrence with other than main partner (YES/NO); and past 3 month frequency (on a 1 – 6 scale of daily to no occurrence). Participants are also asked age of first sexual abuse and description of perpetrator (e.g. different family members, strangers, etc). It has been shown that abuse is positively associated with sexual risk behavior.

Parenting practices will be measured through 47 questions on parent and adolescent reports (Gorman-Smith, Tolan, Zelli, & Huesmann, 1996). The Parenting Practices Measure, was derived from the parental supervision and discipline interview used in the Oregon Youth Study and Pittsburg Youth Study (Thornberry, Huizinga, & Loeber, 1995). Factor analyses have identified four factors 1) Positive Parenting, 2) Discipline Effectiveness, 3) Avoidance of Discipline, and 4) Monitoring. Positive parenting refers to the use of positive rewards and encouragement of appropriate behavior. Discipline effectiveness is a measure of how effective parental discipline is in controlling the youth’s behavior. Avoidance of discipline refers to the parent’s avoidance of providing consequences or disciplining for fear of the youth’s behavior escalating. Monitoring is a measure of monitoring and involvement in daily activity and routines and knowledge of youth’s whereabouts throughout the day. Reports of discipline effectiveness and avoidance of discipline are gathered from parents only. Estimates of positive parenting and extent of monitoring are gathered from both parent and child. Internal consistency reliabilities of each of the subscales ranged from .68 to .81. Confirmatory factor analyses have consistently identified two latent constructs of Discipline and Monitoring which will be the two indicators of parenting used in the family functioning composite (Gorman-Smith et al., 1996). All four factors in this inventory will be used as indicators of parenting practices.

A measurement of pain is important in both clinical and research samples. Although several tools have been developed to aid in the measurement of pain, no gold standard brief pain assessment is universally utilized. This measure, developed as part of a study in NIDA's National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network (CTN), was created to measure multiple aspects of pain. It consists of 4 items, each rated on a 0-8 Likert scale, with lower scores indicating less pain or burden during the past week. The items are: "How frequently have you experience pain in the past week?", "How would you rate the intensity of your pain in the last week?", "How much did pain interfere with your daily life in the past week?", and "How often did you use medication or other treatment to manage your pain in the last week?"

This assessment collects a variety of pain-associated issues (body region(s) affected by pain, participant description of pain diagnosis, duration of pain, number of days in past x days and past x months with pain, past history of pain if not currently experiencing pain; pain treatment history) and opioid analgesics use issues [initial reason for initiating opiate use (e.g. pain relief versus illicit use), current and past sources of opiate analgesics, current and past types of opioid analgesics].

This survey is designed to capture information on how a treatment organization operates, the make-up of the staff and treatment population.
