A psychometric analysis of the Early Trauma Inventory-Short Form in Colombia: CTT and Rasch model
CONCLUSIONS: The study confirms particularly high rates of potential childhood traumatic experiences in Colombia and complement data for specific trauma types. Overall, the ETI-SF is confirmed as useful for Colombia, which highlights this scale as a good tool to use for public health assessment. Future research can continue the integration of diverse methods for estimating the quality of the scale.PMID:38359775 | DOI:10.1016/j.chiabu.2024.106689 (Source: Child Abuse and Neglect)

Examining the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) among justice-involved youth in the U.S.: The importance of accounting for race/ethnicity, gender, and gendered racial/ethnic groups
CONCLUSION: Recommendations related to these findings and considerations surrounding ACE measures are discussed. Specifically, findings from this study stress the importance of accounting for gender and race/ethnicity simultaneously when measuring experiences of adversity. This is a critical step to providing equitable treatment and services to address trauma-related needs across gendered racial/ethnic groups of system-involved youth.PMID:38359774 | DOI:10.1016/j.chiabu.2023.106514 (Source: Child Abuse and Neglect)
