This report asks children about symptoms that are typically experienced by young children following a traumatic event. It is designed for 9 –18 year olds and conforms to standard diagnostic criteria for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

My Worst Experience Scale consists of two sections, Part I asks respondents to indicate which event, from a list of 21 events was their worst experience, and then answer 6 questions about the nature of that experience. Part II requires respondents to indicate the frequency and duration of 105 thoughts, feelings and behaviours they may have experienced after a traumatic event. The responses provide three different scores and these can be used to monitor symptom change during clinical interventions.

• Can be given to large groups as part of a health audit following school tragedies or other disastrous events
