LOINC description : The respondent is asked a comprehensive list of questions about trauma and victimization
experiences over his/her lifetime. If the respondent answers yes to the first question,
the interviewer administers additional follow-up questions about the event. Follow-up
questions collect information about the person's age, when the event occurred, whether
serious injury or death was involved, if there was an intense feeling of fear and
helplessness, the frequency of the event, and whether anyone else ever tried to harm
the person in the same way. The questions are sensitive and cover subjects such as
physical violence, sexual abuse, suicide, and murder. Self-reported child physical
abuse and sexual abuse may need to be reported to the authorities. Researchers should
check their state regulations for these requirements prior to using the instrument
in the field. A distressed respondent protocol is recommended for all ages and particularly
for youths under the age of 18. This protocol should be based on local emergency resources
and approved by the investigator's Institutional Review Board. Interviewers who administer
the questionnaire should be trained on the protocol.;
