Children’s Revised Impact of Event Scale

CRIES 8 is a widely used screening tool measuring children at risk for post traumatic stress symptoms, and is designed to be used in children aged 8 and above. It has been applied in a variety of cultures as post traumatic stress symptoms in children are more similar than they are different from one culture to the other.

The Foundation has also developed a 13 item version of the IES for children, CRIES-13, but we recommend using the CRIES-8 as a screening tool.
