In addition to impacting the physical health of millions of Americans, the novel-coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is a significant psychological stressor due to both the threat of the illness itself and the mitigation strategies used to contain the spread. To facilitate understanding of the impact of COVID-19, validated measures are needed. Using a stepwise procedure in line with best-practice measurement procedures, the current report summarizes the procedures employed to create the COVID-19 Impact Battery (CIB). Two independent samples recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk (N = 175, N = 642) and a third community sample (N = 259) were used for reliability and validity testing. Validation procedures yielded a battery consisting of three scales assessing COVID-19 related behaviors, worry, and disability. The behaviors scale contains three subscales assessing stockpiling, cleaning, and avoidance. The worry subscale also contains three subscales assessing health, financial and catastrophic concerns. In addition, we created a short version of the battery (CIB-S) to allow for more flexibility in data collection. In summary, we have provided reliability and validity information for the CIB and CIB-S, demonstrating that these measures can facilitate evaluation of the broad impact of COVID-19 on mental health functioning.

除了影响数百万美国人的身体健康外，新型冠状病毒 (COVID-19) 大流行也是一个重要的心理压力源，因为这种疾病本身的威胁以及用于控制传播的缓解策略。为了便于理解 COVID-19 的影响，需要采取经过验证的措施。本报告使用符合最佳实践测量程序的逐步程序，总结了用于创建 COVID-19 冲击电池 (CIB) 的程序。通过 Amazon Mechanical Turk 招募的两个独立样本（N = 175，N = 642）和第三个社区样本（N = 259）用于可靠性和有效性测试。验证程序产生了一个由三个量表组成的电池组，用于评估 COVID-19 相关行为、担忧和残疾。行为量表包含评估储存、清洁和避免的三个子量表。担忧分量表还包含三个分量表，用于评估健康、财务和灾难性问题。此外，我们创建了一个短版电池 (CIB-S)，以便在数据收集方面更加灵活。总之，我们提供了 CIB 和 CIB-S 的信度和效度信息，证明这些措施可以促进评估 COVID-19 对心理健康功能的广泛影响。
