Reliability and Validity of the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children and Trauma Symptom Checklist for Young Children Screeners in a Clinical Sample

ABSTRACT This study reports on the reliability and validity for two measures developed for screening of symptoms in child sexual abuse (CSA)—the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children-Screening Form (TSCC-SF) and the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Young Children-Screening Form (TSCYC-SF). The sample of 200 children and caregivers received outpatient treatment. Internal consistencies ranged from an alpha of 0.79–0.85. Concurrent validity was demonstrated by correlations with the TSCC and TSCYC. The TSCC-SF General Trauma (GT) was only correlated Child Behavior Checklist (r = .236 for the Anxious Depressed Scale with the TSCC GT; however, all Child Behavior Checklist scales correlated with the TSCYC GT ranging from .422 to .692, and with the SC with r = .713), and the Children’s Attributional and Perceptual Scale. Findings support reliability and validity reported elsewhere. The TSCC-SF and TSCYC-SF show promise for screening and triage of CSA victims in many settings.
