Research Resources and Tools
ITNS has developed informational tables to help locate research instruments and tools that have been used with transplant subjects. Each table contains the instrument/tool's name, and information about variables, populations, descriptions, reliability, validity, language, copyright, fees, sources, and references. The reliability and validity information was obtained from published sources. However, please contact the tool developer for additional information. If you have any suggestions for changes or corrections, please contact the ITNS office.
