DescriptionThe use of both broad clinical and trauma-specific screening instruments is a crucial component of identification of trauma symptomatology and treatment planning in trauma-focused treatment. The current study sought to gather evidence of the CBCL along with an established trauma-specific rating instrument as a variable for concurrent validity within an MTMM. The data helped to evaluate whether the correlations from the CBCL scores converged with the correlations from the TSCs scores for the depression and anxiety constructs. The study included 67 participants, who were children and adolescents that previously sought treatment in the Rutgers University Foster Care Counseling Project (FCCP). The caregiver-raters were biological parents, adoptive parents, and caseworkers from the New Jersey Department of Child Protection and Permanency (DCP&P). Prior to treatment, participants were administered a set of measures, the age-appropriate versions of the CBCL and TSCs, to assess for trauma symptomatology. Results indicated that the correlations yielded poor evidence of convergent validity of the constructs measuring depression and anxiety. This finding was also detected within the conditional probability analyses for the scores of the scales, which were low. The procedures are outlined, and key findings are highlighted. The psychometric properties of the CBCL and TSCs measures, as well as previous validity studies, are reviewed. Limitations of the current study and implications for practice are also discussed.
