Pre and Post tests

Hi Carolyn.

Learn about / and teach Trauma Releasing Exercises - TRE®   A fantastic tool for both trauma victims and carers. No need for pre or post testing : immediately effective, no touching, natural and almost free.  Plenty in the US. Check my little website for starters  www.treireland.ie

 

Regards

Raymond

Thanks for sharing.  I really do need a pre and post test.  Carolyn

You may find Dr. Ricky Greenwald's assessment tools helpful, particularly CROP.  Link includes research on the measures.

Thanks so much Lindsay.   Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,

You should really look into the community resiliency model. It works from a biological basis. http://traumaresourceinstitute.com/.

HI

I am interested in your model.  We have one called START (Screening Tool for Assessment and Relief of Trauma)  We use a simple assessment followed by targeted self soothing and other psychoed.  the assessment and interventions are typically presented by a non-clinical person.  We are using community organizations and other sites to provide this tool.  I would be interested in hearing more about your work.  

Hello Nicky,  That is exactly what I am doing.  I am putting those psych ed skills into a formal curriculum so that it can be used anywhere by anyone who is a good teacher.  I just want to make sure it works.  Currently I am using a Beck Depression Inventory and Burns Anxiety test.  I am not sure I am measuring what I want to determine its success.  We need models that are evidence based.  Help!!  Carolyn

For the age group you are focusing on you might want to look at Crops and
Props. A child trauma survey and a parent trauma survey regarding the
behaviors of the child. We are using a screening tool developed using
focus group input on the boys and men of color we serve. We are currently
using the tool with high schoolers and transition age youth. It includes
the standard four question PTSD screen with a couple of additional
questions but a test like this would not be age appropriate for under
12’s. Crops and Props are better suited although they are a little
longer. Are you sure Beck’s is age appropriate for the population? I am
not sure exactly what age you are working with. Our model involves a 25
minute meeting that includes screening psychoeducation, and introduction of
self-soothing tools and self-care planning. Our 30 day and 60 day follow
ups are looking really good. If you think your site might be a good place
to be part of our pilot let me know.

Hello Casey.  Could you please give me a link to the 8-questions Adult HOPE Scale : I can only find it with 12 questions. Thank you. Raymond

I too would appreciate you doing that.  Carolyn

Thanks, Ray. It is 12 questions. Here it is with the scoring mechanism.

Thank you Casey, Carolyn and all.  

 

As soon as I posted my first reply, I realized that this is exactly what we are looking for in TRE - evidence-based research (although the anecdotal research is very rich already from all over the world), and my understanding of research is zero. I am therefore grateful to have been caught in this thread, and am looking for suitable examples of Pre&Post Tests, as given here.

 

Thank you all and best wishes.

Raymond Lambert

 

Thanks so much.  Very interesting test.
