Re: Measuring Personl History of Maltreatment

["Anne Brady" <abrady@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sharon,

We are using the CTS2 and the CTSPC with the teen moms enrolled in our
project.  They seem to have no trouble completing them.  The CTS2 is to
rate current relationships and the CTSPC is for rating childhood
experiences.  You can take a look at them on the Family Research Lab's
website:   http://www.unh.edu/frl/

Hope this helps!

Anne
