INTERNATIONAL TRAUMA QUESTIONNAIRE

Child and Adolescent Version

A Valid and Reliable Measure of ICD-11 PTSD and Complex PTSD for Children and Adolescents.

This International Trauma Questionnaire Child and Adolescent Version (ITQ-CA) is a brief, simply-worded measure of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder symptoms for use with people aged 7 to 17. 

​

As with the International Trauma Questionnaire, the ITQ-CA was developed to be consistent with the organizing principles of the ICD-11, as set forth by the World Health Organization, which are to maximize clinical utility and ensure international applicability through a focus on the core symptoms of a given disorder.

​

The ITQ-CA is freely available in the public domain to all interested parties. The measure and related publications are below:
