Would the Violent Experiences Questionnaire (VEQ-R) work?

How about the Vrana-Lauterbach Traumatic Events Scale? I'm assuming you're working with civilians, but there is also a Veteran version if you want that.

Here is a nice article you can look, which describes a few questionairres that may be of help (with children):

Stein, B. D., Jaycox, L. H., Kataoka, S. H., Wong, M., Tu, W., Elliott, M. N., et al. (2003). A mental health intervention for schoolchildren exposed to violence: A randomized controlled trial. JAMA: Journal of the American Medical Association, 290, 603-611.

The UCLA PTSD index for children asks about 13 different types of trauma and potential symptoms of PTSD. Also yields "probable" diagnoses.

I think the best measure will depend on what you are looking for.

If you are just interested in traumatic event history the Life Events Checklist is a pretty quick one that is widely used.

The Traumatic Life Events Questionnaire is a really thorough assessment of trauma history, but is a bit long.

If you're interested in PTSD symptoms as well the Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale is probably the most widely used and well respected self-report measure.

The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist is also an option--there is a civilian version and a military version.

These are all adult measures, but it seems that other folks have already offered up some good measures for the kiddies.

Hope that's helpful!

The PCL (mentioned above) is a great, relatively short, assessment that collects basic PTSD data.

You can Google it and get the stats, which are pretty good....and I believe it is free?

The UCLA Life Stress Interview developed by Dr. Hammen is another good one.

The National Center for PTSD's website has a pretty helpful index of assessment tools. The best part is that each entry includes references and information on how to obtain the scale and some have a link to the pdf.

Here's the website:

The DES- Dissociative Experience Scale

...or is that too DID-oriented?
