For study planning purposes, to be used with typically developing youth :)
Hi Madeline,
in this publication you can find a scale on children's stressful life events. They authors measure stressful life events with a scale consisting of 3 subscales: circumscribed events, life transition, and exposure to violence. The scale seems to be old. Therefore, you might want to think about to add stressful online events in your study.
Best wishes,
Sebastian

Hi Madeline
There are a couple tools you could consider, although most of these are to be completed by children rather than parents.
ISPCAN has a screening tool, and information on this can be found in this articlehttps://www.researchgate.net/profile/Des_Runyan/publication/38037233_ISPCAN_Child_Abuse_Screening_Tool_Children's_version_ICAST-C_Instrument_development_and_multi-national_pilot_testing/links/00b4951951f715a1b7000000.pdf
They also have a parent questionnaire. Information can be found on their website:

Other options include the ACES screening tool (Felitti et al., 1998) http://www.ncjfcj.org/sites/default/files/Finding%20Your%20ACE%20Score.pdf
The Survey of Children’s Exposure to Community Violence (Ritchers & Martinez, 1993). John E. Richters & Pedro Martinez (1993) The Nimh Community Violence
Project: I. Children as Victims of and Witnesses to Violence, Psychiatry, 56:1, 7-21, DOI:
10.1080/00332747.1993.11024617
and two more general wellness surveys are:
Young, N. L., Wabano, M. J., Burke, T. A., Ritchie, S. D., Mishibinijima, D., & Corbiere, R. G. (2013). A process for creating the Aboriginal children’s health and well-being measure (ACHWM). Can J Public Health, 104(2), 136–141. https://doi.org/10.17269/cjph.104.3636
and

I hope this information is helpful. Good luck with the project
