Brandyberry, Lisa J.; MacNair-Semands, Rebecca R.
Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v22 n12 p1253-63 Dec 1998
A survey of 279 undergraduates examined the validity and reliability of "The Courage to Heal Workbook" (TCHW) checklist and whether the checklist can distinguish between participants reporting sexual abuse histories and those who did not. The checklist had robust reliability and could significantly discriminate between survivors and nonsurvivors. (Author/CR)
