Trauma Screening Questionnaire abbreviated as (TSQ) is a questionnaire developed for screening of posttraumatic stress disorder. [1] The TSQ was adapted from the PTSD Symptom Scale – Self-Report Version (PSS-SR). [2] This self-reported assessment scale consists of 10 items, which cover one of the main signs of PTSD.
It is used for alert (conscious) people, but often much of this information can also be obtained from the family or friend of an unresponsive person. In the case of severe trauma, this portion of the assessment is less important. A derivative of SAMPLE history is AMPLE history which places a greater emphasis on a person's medical history. [2]
The 86-item questionnaire has separate forms for parents and teachers, and typically takes 10–15 minutes to administer and 15–20 minutes to score. Other versions of the BRIEF also exist for preschool children aged 2–5 (BRIEF-P), self-reports of adolescents aged 11–18 (BRIEF-SR), and self/informant-reports of adults aged 18–90 (BRIEF-A).
These include the Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS), [149] [150] Child Trauma Screening Questionnaire, [151] [152] and UCLA Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Reaction Index for DSM-IV. [ 153 ] [ 154 ] In addition, there are also screening and assessment instruments for caregivers of very young children (six years of age and younger).
The Trauma Symptom Inventory (TSI) is a psychological evaluation/assessment instrument that taps symptoms of Posttraumatic stress disorder and other posttraumatic emotional problems. It was originally published in 1995 [1] by its developer, John Briere. It is one of the most widely used measures of posttraumatic symptomatology.
Court documents portray Tal, 38, and his brother, Oren, 37, once-superstar New York real estate brokers, and Oren’s twin brother, Alon, 37, a security firm executive, as “serial” sex predators.
This assessment battery includes four measures: the Child/Adolescent Self-Report version; the Parent/Caregiver Report version; the Parent/Caregiver Report version for Children Age 6 and Younger; and a Brief Screen for Trauma and PTSD. Questions may differ among the indexes depending on the target age, however the indexes are identical in format.
The questionnaire is quite brief with 25 questions and, depending on the version, a few questions about how the child is affected by the difficulties in their everyday life. [1] Versions of it are available for use for no fee. The combination of its brevity and noncommercial distribution have made it popular among clinicians and researchers.
