摘要
Research on childhood posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is sparse. This is partly due to the limited availability of empirically validated measures for children who are insecure readers. The present study examined the reliability and validity of a cartoon-based measure of PTSD symptoms in children exposed to a disaster. Cartoons were generated on the basis of the literature and on the "Darryl" test, which was originally designed to assess community violence-related PTSD. Using a sample of 430 children, preliminary analyses demonstrated that the adapted version of the Darryl test had reasonable psychometric properties. Future validation of the measure as a screening tool is discussed.
