Description
Summary:In this article, the authors describe the properties of the Comprehensive Trauma Inventory‐104 (CTI‐104), developed and designed empirically to improve assessment of traumatic war‐related events. The mean number of events reported by 252 community dwelling Kurdish and Vietnamese refugees was 32 (SD = 27) out of the 104 items. Internal and test‐retest reliability was excellent, and the validity of the CTI‐104 as a measure of war trauma was supported by its high correlation with standard measures of known outcomes of trauma. The CTI‐104 is reliable and valid, and assesses a broader range of traumatic war‐related events in a broader range of refugees than currently available instruments.
