CTDA 1003: Development of the Acute Stress Checklist for Children (ASC-Kids) in Children Age 8 to 17, United States, 2002-2004

Exposure to traumatic events is a common experience for children and adolescents. Accurate early assessment of acute stress responses can help predict risk for longer term sequelae and can guide secondary prevention to reduce the incidence and severity of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after trauma exposure. The goal of this project was to develop a practical self-report measure of acute stress disorder (ASD) for children and adolescents, and to provide initial evidence as to its reliability and validity. The specific aims of the project were to: Aim 1: Establish the content validity of a pilot Child ASD measure for ages 8 to 17, based on expert review and youth feedback. Aim 2: In a sample of recently injured children (n=176), assess the psychometric properties of the measure: internal consistency, test-retest reliability, convergent and discriminant validity with other measures and other reporters. Aim 3: Provide initial data regarding the predictive validity of the Child ASD measure in relation to later PTSD development in the same sample of children. This collection includes data related to Aims 2 and 3.

创伤事件之暴露是儿童及青少年群体中普遍经历的体验。对急性应激反应的精准早期评估有助于预测长期后遗症的风险，并可指导二级预防措施，以降低创伤暴露后创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的发生率和严重程度。本项目的目标在于开发一套适用于儿童和青少年的实用自我报告式急性应激障碍（ASD）评估工具，并为其可靠性和有效性提供初步证据。具体目标如下：目标1：基于专家评审和青少年反馈，建立适用于8至17岁儿童急性应激障碍预测试量表的内涵效度。目标2：在176名近期受伤的儿童样本中，评估该量表的心理学特性：内部一致性、重测信度，以及与其他量表及其他报告者的收敛效度和区分效度。目标3：提供关于儿童急性应激障碍量表预测效度的初步数据，该数据涉及同一儿童样本的后续PTSD发展。本数据集包含与目标2和3相关的数据。
