Trauma Symptom Checklist for Young Children™ (TSCYC™)J. Briere Because exposure to traumatic events (e.g., child abuse, peer assaults, community violence) is an unfortunate part of many children’s lives,psychological tests for trauma effects have become an important part of the child-focused assessment battery. Following the success of the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children™ (TSCC™) in evaluating older children (ages 8 to 16 years), the new Trauma Symptom Checklist for Young Children (TSCYC) is the first fully standardised and normed broadband trauma measure for children as young as 3 years of age. Eight years in the making, and tested by clinicians and researchers throughout North America, the TSCYC is a 90-item caretaker report instrument, with separate norms for males and females in three age groups: 3-4 years, 5-9 years, and 10-12 years. Caretakers rate each symptom on a 4-point scale according to how often the symptom has occurred in the previous month. Unlike most other caretaker-report measures, the TSCYC contains specific scales to ascertain the validity of caretaker reports (Response Level and Atypical Response), as well as providing norm-referenced data on the number of waking hours the caretaker spends with the child in the average week (0-1 hours to Over 60 hours). The TSCYC contains eight Clinical Scales: Anxiety, Depression, Anger/Aggression, Post-traumatic Stress-Intrusion, Posttraumatic Stress-Avoidance, Post-traumatic Stress-Arousal, Dissociation, and Sexual Concerns, as well as a summary posttraumatic stress scale (Post-traumatic Stress-Total). These scales provide a detailed evaluation of posttraumatic stress, as well as information on other symptoms found in many traumatized children. The PTSD Diagnosis Worksheet incorporates information from the TSCYC to assist the user in evaluating PTSD criteria in younger children, and provides a possible PTSD diagnosis in children 5 years of age or older (sensitivity = .72, specificity = .75). The TSCYC is appropriate for English-speaking caretakers, including those who have a relatively low reading level (Flesch-Kincade score = 6.8). The TSCYC materials consist of the Professional Manual, Item Booklet, Answer Sheet, and age- and gender-specific Profile Forms. Once the TSCYC is administered to the caretaker, the Answer Sheet is hand-scored by the examiner using the Scoring Sheet and the PTSD Diagnosis Worksheet. Resulting raw scores are converted and plotted as T-scores, depending on the child’s gender and age. The PTSD Diagnosis Worksheet aids the user in ascertaining the PTSD status of the child according to the DSM-IV-TR™. The Professional Manual includes several examples of how to score and interpret the TSCYC. Norms
