“…The Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS; utilized in Samples 1, 2, and 4), available in English (Foa, Johnson, Feeny, & Treadwell, ) and Spanish (Kataoka et al., ), is a child self‐report checklist of symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; 17 items) and related impairment (7 items). The English and Spanish versions have shown excellent internal consistency (α from .88 to .89 in current samples), test‐retest reliability, and convergent validity with other measures of traumatic stress (Foa et al., ; Gudiño & Rindlaub, ).…”

With millions of children experiencing acute traumatic events, validated screening tools are needed in both research and service contexts. We aimed to identify and evaluate short forms of the Acute Stress Checklist for Children in English (ASC-Kids) and Spanish (Cuestionario de Estrés Agudo-Niños [CEA-N]), using data from 4 samples (Ns of 254, 225, 176, and 80) of children with recent acute trauma. Confirmatory factor analyses of the full checklist in the largest sample guided item selection for 6-item and 3-item short forms. Across samples, both short forms (ASC-6/ASC-3 in English; CEA-6/CEA-3 in Spanish) were correlated with acute stress disorder (ASD) symptom severity on the full checklist (r = .79 to .92), and on an interview measure (r = .52 to .62). Receiver operating curve analyses for each short form detecting current ASD status showed high areas under the curve (.76 to .95). Cutoff scores identified based on Sample 1 provided acceptable sensitivity (.59 to 1.00) and specificity (.57 to .86) across samples. Children scoring above the cutoff on each screener reported greater concurrent impairment from ASD symptoms and more severe posttraumatic stress 3 months later. These very brief measures could expand clinicians' and researchers' ability to screen for acute posttraumatic stress in children.

“…Seven subsequent items probe impairment with regard to saying prayers, doing chores, friendships, hobbies, schoolwork, family relationships, and general happiness. Reliability estimates for the English and Spanish version of the Child PTSD Symptoms Scale range from 0.91 to 0.92 (Gudiño and Rindlaub, 2014) and sample-specific alpha coefficient included 0.90, noting excellent internal consistency.…”

Trauma and cultural values in the health of recently immigrated families

This study examined Ruiz et al.’s sociocultural model of Hispanic health resilience by assessing trauma exposure and symptoms and Hispanic cultural values in relation to the physical health of 97 Central American immigrant families, within 24 hours of arrival to the United States. Increased posttraumatic stress symptoms, but not exposure, were associated with increased physical health concerns for parents and children. Hispanic cultural values moderated trauma-health relations for adult health only. Identifying posttraumatic stress symptoms as a significant correlate of physical health in Latino immigrant parents and children is critical to identifying vulnerabilities in need of future research and interventions.

“…The CPSS has been used in research and clinical settings across various populations both in high-income and low-and middle-income countries. Studies across the US have found the CPSS to have strong validity and reliability [34]. The Cronbach's alpha in the current study is  = .933.…”

Globally, approximately 10% - 20% of children and adolescents experience mental health problems and the majority of them are living in low- and middle-income countries. Children of female sex workers are often exposed to unsafe environments, traumatic experiences and a mentally ill parent, putting them at risk for developing mental health problems themselves. Research on the mental health and functioning of children of female sex workers during their school age is limited. This paper will explore the mental health and functioning of female sex workers’ children. Method: The study included 160 female entertainment workers (FEWs) and 60 of their children from four provinces of Cambodia. FEW’s mental health, and children’s mental health and functioning were measured. Result: FEWs demonstrated high rates of depression (67%) and anxiety (61%), and 54.38% reported symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Of the 60 children, the majority got their education at primary school (68%) and secondary school (25%). 46.7% of them reported symptoms of functional impairment, 18.33% suffered from psychological distress, and 36.67% have PTSD symptoms above the clinical threshold. Children’s psychological distress was significantly predicted by mothers’ early childhood traumatic experiences, mothers’ current mental health problems, mothers’ anxiety and PTSD. Mother’s PTSD predicted children’s psychological distress [β = 0.282, R2 = 0.079] and functioning [β = 0.285, R2 = 0.081]. Conclusion: School age children of FEWs have high rates of depression, anxiety and PTSD. Children’s psychological problems impair their functioning at school and home. FEW’s PTSD predicts their children’s psychological distress and functioning. Further research on the mental health and functioning of FEW’s children should be continued with a larger sample size. Mental health professionals and educators should provide mental health care for FEWs and their children, and develop evidence-based approaches to improving children’s mental health and functioning
