The QPASS Research Team

As the author and developer of QPASS, I  (Scott Lownsdale, Ed.D.) want to publicly thank the members of my doctoral dissertation committee at Northern Illinois University who helped me develop the instrument: Toni Tollerud, Ph.D., James Sells, Ph. D., Janet Holt, Ph.D. and Fran Giordano, Ph.D.

QPASS is also the result of the efforts of more than 40 mental health professionals from across the United States who contributed their valuable time and expertise in helping to develop this instrument. Without the help of the following individuals, who helped collect data for the research and development of the instrument, there would be no QPASS:
