Predictive validity: Children with Injury or Burns: (Bosquet Enlow et al., 2010; Long form (30 symptom items only) and Short form (4-item) CSDC; assessed at 3-month follow-up) - Poor predictive validity of the 30-item CSDC (r = 0.18) and 4-item CSDC (r = 0.17) at predicting scores on the Child PTSD Reaction Index (CPTSD-RI)
- Adequate predictive validity of the 30-item CSDC at predicting scores on the Child Behavior Checklist PTSD scale (CBCL-PTSD) (r = 0.31, p < 0.01)
- Poor predictive validity of the 4-item CSDC at predicting scores on the CBCL-PTSD (r = 0.29, p < 0.05)
- Adequate predictive validity of the 30-item CSDC (r = 0.35, p < 0.01) and 4-item CSDC (r = 0.31, p < 0.05) at predicting scores on the Diagnostic Interview for Children and Adolescents (DICA) PTSD Module (DICA PTSD)—Child-rated symptoms
- Adequate predictive validity of the 30-item CSDC (r = 0.58, p < 0.001) and 4-item CSDC (r = 0.53, p < 0.001) at predicting scores on the DICA PTSD—Parent-rated symptoms
Concurrent validity: Children with Injury or Burns: (Bosquet Enlow et al., 2010; Long form (30 symptom items only) and Short form (4-item) CSDC) - Poor concurrent validity between the 30-item CSDC (r = 0.26, p < 0.01) and 4-item CSDC (r = 0.29, p < 0.01) with the CPTSD-RI
- Adequate concurrent validity between the 30-item CSDC (r = 0.47, p < 0.001) and 4-item CSDC (r = 0.34, p < 0.001) with the CBCL-PTSD
Children with Burns: (Saxe et al., 2003, Long form (36-item) CSDC) - Adequate correlation between the CSDC and Total Body Surface Area Burned (TBSA) when reported by parents following an acute burn (r = 0.56, p < 0.001)
- Adequate correlation between the CSDC and CPTSD-RI when reported by parents following an acute burn (r = 0.39, p < 0.05)
- Adequate correlation between the CSDC and CDC when reported by parents following an acute burn (r = 0.49, p < 0.01)
- Adequate correlation between the CSDC and CBCL-PTSD when reported by parents following an acute burn (r = 0.49, p < 0.01)
- Adequate correlation between the CSDC and TBSA when reported by nurses following an acute burn (r = 0.43, p < 0.01)
- Poor correlation between the CSDC and CPTSD-RI when reported by nurses following an acute burn (r = 0.26, p < 0.1)
- Adequate correlation between the CSDC and CDC when reported by nurses following an acute burn (r = 0.33, p < 0.05)
- Adequate correlation between the CSDC and CBCL-PTSD when reported by nurses following an acute burn (r = 0.35, p < 0.05)
- Adequate correlation between the CSDC and CDC when reported by parents at 3 months post-burn (r = 0.59, p < 0.05)
- Adequate correlation between the CSDC and CBCL-PTSD when reported by parents at 3 months post-burn (r = 0.47, p < 0.05)
Children with Acute Burns: (Drake et al., 2006; n = 70; mean age = 1.7, age range = 1 to 4 years; male = 43 (61%); admitted acute burn victims; exclusion criteria: non-English-speaking caregiver or guardian or residence outside of Northeastern U.S.; 36-item CSDC-Burn Version (CSDC-B)) - There was a significantly greater number PTSD symptoms as reflected in nurse reported CSDC Scores for Large Burns (22.3, n = 8) in comparison to those for medium (11.2, n = 14) and small (5.3, n = 48) burns, p < .001)
- There was a significant difference in nurse reported CSDC scores for hospital stays longer than 10 days (14.2, n = 22) in comparison to hospital stays in between 5-10 days (6.4, n = 23, p < .01) and between 1-4 days (2.7, n = 21, p < .001)
- There was a significant difference in nurse reported CSDC scores for more than 15 dressing changes (16.6, n = 13) in comparison to between 8-15 dressing changes (9.8, n = 18, p < .01) and between 1-7 dressing changes (4.2, n = 35, p < .001)
