目的：暴露于童年创伤在被监禁的青少年中尤为普遍。尽管人们越来越了解创伤暴露对儿童和青少年发展的有害影响，但儿童虐待很难准确衡量。自我报告的创伤史以及创伤暴露的补充文件报告的整合可能提供最准确的估计经历创伤的青少年在惩教设置。方法：目前的研究开发了一种专家评估的创伤，综合自我报告，以及客观档案信息，使用114个被监禁的男性青少年样本。结果：除了建立量表因子结构、信度和效度外，目前的研究还提供了额外的证据，证明在押青少年中创伤的普遍性，并报告了量表的外部相关因素，特别是与惩教环境相关的（例如，精神病特征）。结论：将自我报告与档案资料相结合对创伤症状进行评估是有意义的。
Objective: Exposure to childhood trauma is particularly prevalent among incarcerated juveniles. Although there is a growing understanding of the detrimental impact trauma exposure can have on child and adolescent development, childhood maltreatment can be very difficult to accurately measure. Integration of self-report trauma histories as well as supplemental file reports of trauma exposure may provide the most accurate estimate of experienced trauma among youth in correctional settings. Method: The current study developed an expert-rated assessment of trauma that synthesizes self-report, as well as objective file information, using a sample of 114 incarcerated male juveniles. Results: In addition to establishing scale factor structure, reliability, and validity, the current study provides additional evidence of the prevalence of trauma among incarcerated juveniles and reports on external correlates of the scale that are particularly relevant in correctional settings (e.g., psychopathic traits). Conclusion: These results suggest that the integration of both self-report and file material can be meaningfully used to assess traumatic symptomology.
