心理创伤的措施很少评估的有效性与弱势群体。作者使用了三种定性方法来评估压力生活事件筛选问卷（SLESQ）与低收入非洲裔美国妇女的文化效度。焦点小组（n = 17），认知访谈（n = 20），并进行SLESQ访谈录像带审查（n = 16）。焦点小组参与者自发地使用类似的语言来SLESQ项目，并倾向于确定SLESQ事件的创伤。在访谈中，大多数项目都得到了很好的理解，但对措辞提出了一些批评。磁带审查表明，采访者几乎没有修改措辞。一个项目显示出持续的问题。因此，对面谈进行了修改。
Measures of psychological trauma are rarely evaluated for validity with disadvantaged populations. The authors used three qualitative methods to assess the cultural validity of the Stressful Life Events Screening Questionnaire (SLESQ) with low-income African American women. Focus groups (n = 17), cognitive interviews (n = 20), and videotape reviews of SLESQ interviews were conducted (n = 16). Focus group participants spontaneously used similar language to the SLESQ items and tended to identify SLESQ events as traumatic. Most items were well understood in the interviews, with some criticism of wording. Tape reviews indicated little wording modification by interviewers. One item showed consistent problems. The interview was revised accordingly.
