The 9-item SASCAT, a modified version of the Adapted Social Capital Assessment Tool (A-SCAT), is used to measure the individual social capital of caregivers of children aged 1 and 8 years old. The measure was first used in The Young Lives Study (www.younglives.org) in order to explore the association between caregiver’s social capital and different aspects of child well-being, for example educational outcomes and physical and mental health. The tool could also be used to measure ecological social capital by administering it to a representative sample of a community and aggregating their responses.

The IASC Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for MHPSS Programmes was released for field test in 2017. In 2021, the Common Framework was updated to include qualitative and quantitative means of verification (MoV) for impact-level indicators in the framework. MHPSS.net developed the IASC MHPSS M&E Framework MoV toolkit to accompany the framework and serve as a resource to maintain and disseminate these tools in a single, easy to use format.
