• The Traumatic Life Events Questionnaire (TLEQ) is a self-administered questionnaire to assess current and prior exposure to potentially traumatic events (e.g., from natural disasters to sexual abuse). Follow-up probes ask whether respondents felt fear, helplessness, or horror during any event experienced. Additional questions ask about physical injury and immediate emotional response to the event. For exposure to multiple events, respondents are asked to indicate which event they perceive as the worst. The Traumatic Life Events Questionnaire (TLEQ) is a proprietary instrument and administration requires a licensing agreement from Western Psychological Services. The Social Environments Working Group recommends that the Traumatic Life Events Questionnaire (TLEQ) be used to screen for prior exposure to traumatic events that can lead to mental health problems, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
