The worst rates of preventable mortality and morbidity among women and children occur in humanitarian settings. Reliable, easy-to-use, standardized, and efficient tools for data collection are needed to enable different organizations to plan and act in the most effective way. In 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) commissioned a review of tools for data collection on the health of women and children in humanitarian emergencies. An update of this review was conducted to investigate whether the recommendations made were taken forward and to identify newly developed tools. Fifty-three studies and 5 new tools were identified. Only 1 study used 1 of the tools identified in our search. Little has been done in terms of the previous recommendations. Authors may not be aware of the availability of such tools and of the importance of documenting their data using the same methods as other researchers. Currently used tools may not be suitable for use in humanitarian settings or may not include the domains of the authors’ interests. The development of standardized instruments should be done with all key workers in the area and could be coordinated by the WHO.

Summary
The psalter contains the complete book of Psalms, comprising 150 poems originally composed in Hebrew between the tenth and third centuries bce. For monastics, secular scholars and the laity alike, this was arguably the single most important book of the Bible. Among Christians of medieval Europe, it was generally agreed that the psalms were immediately and obviously about Christ: Aquinas summed up a millennium of exegetical opinion when he held that the psalms comprised ‘all theology’ and ‘everything concerning the Incarnation’. The psalter was at the core of both monastic and secular liturgy. For monks, it was the foundation of prayer and the sovereign guide to contemplation; for church writers, it was the cardinal text for trying out new approaches and teaching new ideas; for preachers, it was an inexhaustible handbook for constructing sermons. Clergy and laity knew the psalter better than any other book; and they knew it as a book – that is, not only orally, through sermons and liturgy, but in written form, for they owned it, commissioned it, even learned to read from it. The language of the Latin psalter was the language of the Middle Ages, its phrases so well known that they echo throughout sacred and profane literature of the time, and enrich the vocabulary not only of medieval Latin but of Romance languages. Its verbal images form a significant part of the artistic heritage of medieval Europe.
Text and versions
Though the history of the text of the Latin Bible is covered elsewhere in this volume, two points can usefully be emphasised here. The first is that the book of Psalms presents an exception to the gradual but ultimately overwhelming acceptance across Europe of Jerome's translation of the canonical Old Testament according to the Hebrew text. Instead of his final ‘Hebrew’ version of Psalms, his earlier ‘Gallican’ translation prevailed. The second point is that the text of this Gallican psalter was itself not entirely stable in the Middle Ages, largely due to its very importance in the liturgy and lives of western Christians. Both of these points need some explanation.
