Abstract

The Trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences Survey more thoroughly assesses traumatic experiences endorsed by today's youth, including potentially traumatic experiences related to identity-based discrimination, while the CAPC-5 goes beyond extant measures to assess for complex PTSD. The strong psychometric properties of both measures support their utility in assessing PTSD symptoms among children and adolescents. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
