Peer reviewedFoy, David W.; Wood, Jenifer L.; King, Daniel W.; King, Lynda A.; Resnick, Heidi S. – Assessment, 1997
Psychometric support for the use of the Los Angeles Symptom Checklist (LASC), a self-report measure of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), was provided by a study involving 639 high-risk adolescents. The LASC had appropriate levels of reliability and appeared to detect distress and PTSD as a function of trauma exposure. (SLD)
