CRITERIA FOR INTEGRATING TOOLS

| CRITERIA FOR INTEGRATING MEASUREMENT tools TO THE RISQ WEBSITE

RISQ enables members to integrate new measurement instruments to the RISQ website.

Scientific committee for measurement tools has proposed five criteria, which have been approved by RISQ's steering committee:

1. Tool authored by a researcher at RISQ or at Institut universitaire sur les dépendances.
2. The researcher must enter the information using an analytical card (ask RISQ for a model of the card), and send an electronic copy of the tool, user's manual and any other relevant document on the tool's psychometric qualities (or other scientific documents). If validation studies are or will be undertaken, the researcher must inform the scientific committee for tool development.
3. Guarantee that the person making the request has the copyright required to upload the tool to the RISQ website.
4. The scientific committee responsible for measurement instruments must approve the analytical card based on the information provided and tools filed on RISQ's website.
5. The researcher or designated individual must accept to respond to tool users’ questions and requests.
