Key facts

• PhenX - exposures to violence - child protocol 181402
• The respondent is asked a comprehensive list of questions about trauma and victimization experiences over his/her lifetime. If the respondent answers "yes" to the first question, the interviewer administers additional follow-up questions about the event. Follow-up questions collect information about the person's age, when the event occurred, whether serious injury or death was involved, if there was an intense feeling of fear and helplessness, the frequency of the event, and whether anyone else ever tried to harm the person in the same way. The questions are sensitive and cover subjects such as physical violence, sexual abuse, suicide, and murder. Self-reported child physical abuse and sexual abuse may need to be reported to the authorities. Researchers should check their state regulations for these requirements prior to using the instrument in the field. A distressed respondent protocol is recommended for all ages and particularly for youths under the age of 18. This protocol should be based on local emergency resources and approved by the investigator's Institutional Review Board. Interviewers who administer the questionnaire should be trained on the protocol.
