    Date Published: 2015
    Format: Text
    Annotation: The Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5, Child/Adolescent Version (CAPS-CA-5) is a 30-item clinician-administered post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) scale based upon DSM-5 criteria for children and adolescents ages 7 and above. It is a modified version of the CAPS-5 that includes age appropriate items and picture response options, and assesses the 20 DSM-5 PTSD symptoms. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

  2. Traumatic Events Screening Inventory for Children (TESI-C)
    Source: National Center for PTSD [Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder] [U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs]
    Date Published: 6/16/2011
    Format: PDF
    Annotation: The Traumatic Events Screening Inventory (TESI-C) protocol is a guide for clinical and/or research interviewing to screen for a child's history of exposure to potentially traumatic experiences. The protocol is designed to help clinicians focus in a systematic fashion on the primary domains of trauma for children, which include direct exposure to or witnessing of severe accidents, illness, or disaster; family or community conflict or violence; and sexual molestation. The questions are arranged to hierarchically review experiences in an order that helps the child tolerate the possible stress of disclosing traumatic experiences: gradually increasing the intimacy of the experiences (i.e., sexual trauma is reserved for the end of the interview), to help the child recall not only physical harm/violence but also incidents of threatened harm and witnessed trauma. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

  7. PCL (PTSD [Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder] Checklist): Civilian Version (PCL-C); Military Version (PCL-M); Stressor Specific Version (PCL-S)
    Source: National Center for PTSD [Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder] [U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs]
    Format: Text
    Annotation: The PCL (PTSD [Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder] Checklist) is a 17-item self-report measure of the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition) symptoms of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). The PCL has a variety of clinical and research purposes, such as screening individuals for PTSD, aiding in the diagnostic assessment of PTSD, and monitoring change in PTSD symptoms. There are three versions of this measure: the civilian version (PCL-C), military version (PCL-M), and stressor specific version (PCL-S).

    The PCL-C asks about symptoms in relation to generic "stressful experiences" and can be used with any population. This version simplifies assessment based on multiple traumas because symptom endorsements are not attributed to a specific event. In many circumstances, it is also advisable to assess traumatic event exposure to ensure that a respondent has experienced at least one event that meets DSM-IV Criterion A.

    The PCL-M asks about symptoms in response to "stressful military experiences." It is often used with active service members and veterans.

    The PCL-S asks about symptoms in relation to an identified "stressful experience."

    The PCL-5 was developed to assess the 20 DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition) symptoms of PTSD. Several revisions were made to update the PCL for the DSM-V. There is not a corresponding civilian or military version for the PCL-5, and the scale was changed from 1-5 to 0-4. The increase in the number of questions and the change in the scale mean that the PCL-5 scores are not compatible with PCL scores, and the two cannot be used interchangeably. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response     Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

    Although these measures are available in the public domain, they were created by staff at the Veterans Affairs (VA) National Center for PTSD (this includes the PCL-5, mentioned in greater detail later in the annotation) and require permission for use. The VA states that information on measures is available to everyone; however, the assessment tools themselves can be distributed only to qualified mental health professionals and researchers.

    Annotation: The Short Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Rating Interview (SPRINT) is an eight-question post-disaster assessment and referral tool. The SPRINT has been determined to have good reliability and convergent validity with other PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) diagnostic and psychological functioning measures in both clinical trials and population surveys. The SPRINT-E contains 12 questions: the eight questions in the SPRINT, as well as three additional questions regarding depression and impaired functioning, and one additional question regarding suicide. There is also a 10-item clinician-administered version that examines the participant's or patient's response to a treatment or intervention. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

    Format: PDF
    Annotation: The Impact of Events Scale Revised (IES-R) is a 22-item self-report measure that assesses subjective distress caused by traumatic events. It is a revised version of the older version, the 15-item IES (Horowitz, Wilner, and Alvarez, 1979). The IES-R contains seven additional items related to the hyperarousal symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that were not included in the original IES. Items correspond directly to 14 of the 17 DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition) symptoms of PTSD. Respondents are asked to identify a specific stressful life event and then indicate how much they were distressed or bothered during the past seven days by each "difficulty" listed. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
