he National Information Center on Health Services Research & Health Care Technology
(<A HREF="/nichsr/nichsr.html">NICHSR</A>) Health Services and Sciences Research
Resources (HSRR) database is now available on the NLM Web site at <A HREF="/nichsr/hsrr_search/">
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/nichsr/hsrr_search/</A>.
</P>
<P>
The HSRR database contains descriptions of about 300 research datasets,
over 55 instruments/indices, and more than 20 software applications that are
frequently used in health services research and in the behavioral and social sciences.
These research-oriented tools may be used to assess data variables and data collection
methodologies.
</P>
<P>
The database default is to search all tools (i.e., datasets, instruments, and software).
Alternatively, each type of tool can be searched separately or browsed by title or source.
Any word or phrase can be searched in more than thirty fields.
Use the Help link located next to the Search button for basic search help (see <A HREF="#fig1">Figure 1</A>).

<P>
Search results are presented by tool type (see <A HREF="#fig2">Figure 2</A>).

<P>
The HSRR record format content varies depending on the research tool being discussed.
See Figures <A HREF="#fig3">3</A>, <A HREF="#fig4">4</A>, and <A HREF="#fig5">5</A> for
examples of records for the different tools. Most records include a purpose and a description of the tool,
official dataset or instrument titles, source and source Internet links, methods used for data collection, population and
geographic regions, unit of analysis, sample design, variables, references, related tools, and contact and vendor information.
Whenever possible records also include links to preformatted PubMed searches that retrieve citations about the tool found
in HSRR.
</P>
<P>
Currently, NICHSR has concentrated on describing data sets, instruments/indices and software collected regularly by federal
government agencies. In the future, additional state resource data will be added.
