Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale
Source: Connor-Davidson Resilience ScaleDate Published: 2003Format: TextAnnotation: The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) consists of 25 items that measure the ability to cope with stress and adversity. It was designed to quantify self-reports of resilience in the general population and clinical samples, and to measure response to pharmacological treatment in a clinical population. The items reflect several aspects of resilience that include a sense of personal competence, tolerance of negative affect, positive acceptance of change, trust in one's instincts, sense of social support, spiritual faith, and an action-oriented approach to problem solving. Shortened 10-item and two-item versions are also available. Additional information is available on the authors' website at http://www.cd-risc.com/.

Child Post-Traumatic Cognitions Inventory (cPTCI)
Source: Children and War FoundationDate Published: 2003Format: TextAnnotation: Negative trauma-related cognitions have been found to be a significant factor in the maintenance of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adults. Initial studies of such appraisals in trauma-exposed children and adolescents suggest that this is an important line of research in youth, yet empirically validated measures for use with younger populations are lacking. A measure of negative trauma-related cognitions for use with children and adolescents is the Child Post-Traumatic Cognitions Inventory (cPTCI). The measure was devised as an age-appropriate version of the adult Post-Traumatic Cognitions Inventory (Foa et al., 1999).

Child's Reaction to Traumatic Events Scale (CRTES)
Source: Virginia Tech UniversityDate Published: 2002Format: PDFAnnotation: The Child's Reaction to Traumatic Events Scale (CRTES) is a revision of the Horowitz Impact of Events Scale (HIES). The HIES has been used to study children exposed to catastrophic events. The most recent version of the Child's Reaction to Traumatic Events Scale-Revised (CRTES-Revised) is a self-report measure designed to assess psychological responses to stressful life events. The scale is being updated for DSM IV to now include arousal as well as avoidance and intrusion symptoms. The revised CRTES uses a four-point frequency rating scale: not at all (0); rarely (1); sometimes (3); and often (5).
