The TSCC allows you to measure posttraumatic stress and related psychological symptomatology in children ages 8-16 years who have experienced traumatic events, such as physical or sexual abuse, major loss, or natural disasters, or who have been a witness to violence.

The 20-item  TSCC Screening Form allows you to screen for posttraumatic symptomatology in just 5 minutes. The TSCC Screening Form consists of two subscales: General Trauma (12 items) and Sexual Concerns (8 items). Also available in Spanish.

FAQs

What is the technical information of the TSCC™?

Technical information

The TSCC scales are internally consistent (alpha coefficients for clinical scales range from .77 to .89 in the standardization sample) and exhibit reasonable convergent, discriminant, and predictive validity in normative and clinical samples.

Test structure

  • The 54-item TSCC includes two validity scales (Underresponse and Hyperresponse), six clinical scales (Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Posttraumatic Stress, Dissociation, and Sexual Concerns), and eight critical items. Profile Forms allow for conversion of raw scores to age- and sex-appropriate T scores and enable you to graph the results.
  • The TSCC-A, an alternate 44-item version of the measure, makes no reference to sexual issues.
