Try Streiner, DL & Norman, GR (1989) Health measurement scales. A
practical guide to their development and use. Oxford University Press.
I found it useful when I was looking at risk assessment scales.
Wing J, Curtis, R & Beevor a (1993) Health of the nation outcome scales.
London: Royal College of Psychiatrists.
This is good for explaining the mechanics of it all.
