目的：评估34项青少年受害问卷（JVQ）在全国2- 17岁儿童样本中获取最近受害经历的实用性和性能。方法：在全国随机数字拨号电话调查中使用JVQ，调查了2，030名儿童的经历。10-17岁的儿童的经验进行了评估，通过青少年自我报告的JVQ，和儿童的经验2-9通过JVQ照顾者代理report.Results评估：大量的最近的受害者披露使用JVQ（71%的样本报告至少有一个受害者在过去的一年中，平均2.63受害每名儿童）。几乎没有迹象表明受访者感到困惑，即使是最敏感的问题也几乎没有阻力。在结构效度的测试中，JVQ项目的认可与创伤症状的测量相关。该仪器在3至4周的重新给药中显示出足够的重测信度。大量的受害者被报告的年龄范围，并有自我报告和代理报告之间没有重大的不连续性，这表明照顾者提供了一般充分的和可比的信息，儿童自我报告的经验，10岁以下的儿童。JVQ有可能用于未来的流行病学研究以及有关儿童受害的临床评价。(c)2005爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Objective: To assess the utility and performance of the 34-item Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire (JVQ) in eliciting the recent victimization experiences of a national sample of children ages 2-17.Method: The JVQ was administered in a national random digit dial telephone survey about the experiences of 2,030 children. The experiences of children 10-17 years old were assessed through youth self-report on the JVQ, and the experiences of children 2-9 assessed through JVQ caregiver proxy report.Results: Large numbers of recent victimizations were disclosed using the JVQ (71% of the sample reporting at least one victimization in the last year, with an average of 2.63 victimizations per child). There were few indicators of respondent confusion and little resistance to even the most sensitive questions. In a test of construct validity, endorsements of JVQ items correlated well with measures of traumatic symptoms. The instrument showed adequate test-retest reliability in a 3 to 4 week re-administration. Large numbers of victimizations were reported across the spectrum of ages, and there were no major discontinuities between the self-reports and proxy reports, suggesting that caregivers provided generally adequate and comparable information to child self-reports about the experiences of children under the age of 10.Conclusion: The JVQ has potential for use in future epidemiological research as well as clinical evaluation concerning the victimization of children.
