Screening
An Overview of the Assessment Methods and Measures Used in AF-CBT
We have identified assessment measures based on some general inclusion criteria that are used to identify appropriate candidates for AF-CBT. The recommended measures can be completed on paper, one-to-one or group administration, or via interview. They have good psychometric properties (i.e., reliability, validity), and have been used across a variety of trauma types, age ranges, settings, and cultures. Most also are available in the public domain (i.e., free of charge). Other measures may be needed to assess changes in competencies or skills learned in each phase of AF-CBT.

This document is a measure that lists some of the eligibility criteria we use to determine if a case is appropriate for AF-CBT treatment. The primary items look for caregiver physical abuse, high risk behavior, or physical discipline, family conflict, children externalizing behavior/aggression or trauma symptoms secondary to this caregiver/family history. This information can be obtained based on direct questions with a caregiver and/or based on a review of collateral informants or secondary materials/documents.
