Hi,
I need a scale assessing pre and post migration trauma among refugee (or war-torn) youth. So far, I came across with a good one in Montgomery's study which she used in 2008 study. However, can't find it any where.
Does any one know how to reach this measurement, or any other validated self-report scale assessing trauma?
Hello Seyda
Is this the study you mean?:
Montgomery, E. (2008). Long-term effects of organized violence on young Middle Eastern refugees' mental health. Social science & medicine, 67(10), 1596-1603.
I had a quick look - was it Achenbach's measures that you meant?
Both Edith Montgomery and Prof Thomas Achenbach are ResearchGate members; it might be worth asking them.
This paper references Achenbach's work:
Hofstra, M. B., Van Der Ende, J. A. N., & Verhulst, F. C. (2001). Adolescents' self-reported problems as predictors of psychopathology in adulthood: 10-year follow-up study. The British Journal of Psychiatry, 179(3), 203-209.

. . including the manuals.
I hope you find what you need.
Very best wishes,
Mary
Hi Mary,
Many thanks for your reply.
I meant the trauma assessment that she used- which I find very comprehensive. I did not know that she is a ResearchGate member, I will ask her directly.
Thanks again
Best
Seyda
