    Test Format:
    The first part of the THS includes 14 questions assessing the occurrence of high magnitude stressor and persisting
    posttraumatic distress events using a yes-no response format. Respondents also indicate how many times the
    traumatic events happened. Following the yes-no gate question (e.g., "Did any of these things really bother you
    emotionally?"); respondents then give detailed descriptions of each event they answered "yes" to and answer 7 more
    questions relating to each specific event.
