Establishing and validating a survey for trauma-informed, culturally responsive change across multiple systems

ConclusionGiven the absence of a validated alternative, this study supports use of the STISC tool to measure the degree of an individual ’s trauma-informed knowledge and positive attitudes toward trauma-informed systems change, as well as trauma-informed practices in the workplace. Further study and refinement will aim to determine whether the STISC survey is sensitive to change, which will provide stronger support for the survey’ s potential usefulness as a cost-effective method of standardizing trauma-informed systems change programs across multiple fields and industries.
