LOINC description : The Traumatic Life Events Questionnaire (TLEQ) is a self-administered questionnaire
to assess current and prior exposure to potentially traumatic events (e.g., from natural
disasters to sexual abuse). Follow-up probes ask whether respondents felt fear, helplessness,
or horror during any event experienced. Additional questions ask about physical injury
and immediate emotional response to the event. For exposure to multiple events, respondents
are asked to indicate which event they perceive as the worst. The Traumatic Life Events
Questionnaire (TLEQ) is a proprietary instrument and administration requires a licensing
agreement from Western Psychological Services. The Social Environments Working Group
recommends that the Traumatic Life Events Questionnaire (TLEQ) be used to screen for
prior exposure to traumatic events that can lead to mental health problems, such as
posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).;
