The following documents are available to be used to conduct your own assessment of the physical environmental characteristics of parks. |
This paper-and-pencil instrument is used by an observer to assess visible park features. Data can then be entered manually or we can assist you with electronic data entry services. |
This presentation file can be used to train observers in the use of the BRAT-DO. It should be used in conjunction with the BRAT-DO Reference Manual. |
This presentation file consists of exercises that can be used during training to practice some of the subjective ratings. It should supplement, NOT substitute for, in-the-field training and practice. |

Because all of our work takes place in New Orleans, our research was severely hampered by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. As a result of the storm and subsequent flooding of the city, we created an additional module to the BRAT-DO to assess hurricane- and flooding-specific damages in parks. This module is now part of the complete BRAT-DO instrument available above. |
