This page includes various resources for researchers.
Software
St. David’s CHPR has access to University of Minnesota Nutritional Data System for Research (NDSR), for use by faculty investigators at The University of Texas at Austin researching topics with underserved populations.
NDSR is a Windows-based dietary analysis program designed for the collection and analyses of 24-hour dietary recalls, food records, menus, and recipes.
Please contact St. David’s CHPR if you wish to reserve time to use the NDSR.
Health Promotion Scales
The Barriers to Health Pomoting Activities for Disabled Persons Scale (BHADP) and Self Rated Abilities for Health Practices Scale (SRAHP) have been used by several faculty members in health promotion studies and articles. They have primarily been used in surveys, but may also be used in structured interviews. Information regarding the use of these scales by the public is provided.
Health Promotion & Disease Prevention Website Sources
The Health Promotion & Disease Prevention Website Sources include national curated resources for researchers regarding health promotion information, information about selected diseases and the impact that these have when dealing with underserved populations. St. David’s CHPR provides this information to the public with no endorsements of any particular source.
