TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric properties of the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children (TSCC) in a sample of Brazilian children: preliminary results JO - Journal of child and adolescent trauma A1 - Lobo, Beatriz Oliveira Meneguelo A1 - Brunnet, Alice Einloft A1 - Ecker, Kimberly Kauana A1 - Schaefer, Luiziana Souto A1 - Arteche, Adriane Xavier A1 - Kristensen, Christian Haag SP - 117 EP - 125 VL - 8 IS - 2 N2 - The psychometric properties of the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children (TSCC) were examined in 124 children and adolescents aged 8-16 years. Principal Component Analysis was performed to investigate the principal components of the TSCC, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis was conducted to test the dimensional structure of the TSCC.

RESULTS confirmed a six-factor structure, which fitted well with the data. Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the scales of TSCC yielded evidence for good internal reliability, with values ranging from 0.64 to 0.85. Strong evidence of convergent validity was observed through correlations with the Child Depression Inventory and Child Behavior Checklist. The preliminary results suggest that the TSCC is reliable and showed adequate evidence of validity.
