<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We are working on creating a measure
of severity of family maltreatment and are currently searching the research
and practice literature for examples of other measures. &nbsp;We would
appreciate it if anyone could direct us to measures of severity that have
been used in research or in practice, including scales used in local child
welfare, health, or social services agencies. &nbsp;</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The following are measures with which
we are already familiar. &nbsp;</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Severity Levels of the CTS2</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Barnett, Manly &amp; Cicchetti's &nbsp;Maltreatment
Classification System</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Marshall's Severity of Violence Against
Women Scale (SVAW)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Smith &amp; Testa (2002)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Naar-King, Silvern, Ryan, &amp; Sebring
(2002)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">If there are other measures that you
know of, please let me know. &nbsp;Thanks!</font>
