Child PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) Symptom Scale (CPSS)
Source: University of PennsylvaniaDate Published: 1997Format: PDFAnnotation: The Child PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) Symptom Scale (CPSS) is a self-report measure designed to assess the severity of post-traumatic stress disorder among children and adolescents of ages 8 to 18. The measure has a total of 24 items and includes two parts; the first has 17 items and measures the type and frequency of PTSD symptoms (mapping directly on to DSM-IV criteria); the second has seven items and measures the degree of functional impairment these symptoms cause. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

Participants are given a list of 15 unrelated words repeated over five different trials and are asked to repeat them. Another list of 15 unrelated words is given, and the client must again repeat the original list of 15 words and then again after 30 minutes.

Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI)
Source: American Tinnitus AssociationDate Published: 1996Format: PDFAnnotation: Tinnitus is generally a subjective condition, but there are clinical ways to measure its audiometric qualities and impact on the patient. Tinnitus doesn't just impact hearing; it can cause a cascade of negative mental, cognitive, and physical consequences. The difference between tinnitus being a minor or major issue of the patient is less often related to how loud tinnitus is, but rather how the tinnitus impacts other facets of patients' lives. Clinicians and researchers have developed inventory tests, such as this one, to measure the subjective burden a patient experiences because of tinnitus.

Trauma Symptom Checklist 40 (TSC-40)
Source: University of Southern California (USC)Date Published: 1996Format: TextAnnotation: The Trauma Symptom Checklist 40 (TSC-40) is a measure of symptomatic distress in adults arising from childhood or adult traumatic experiences. It measures aspects of post-traumatic stress as well as other symptoms found in some traumatized individuals. Respondents are asked to rate how often they have experienced each symptom in the last two months using a four-point frequency rating scale. In addition to yielding a total score (ranging from 0 to 120), the TSC-40 has six subscales: Anxiety, Depression, Dissociation, Sexual Abuse Trauma Index, Sexual Problems, and Sleep Disturbances. According to the authors, this measure is intended exclusively for research purposes. The instrument is further described here.
