Measures 2
The CORE-OM is a 34-item generic measure of psychological distress, which is pan-theoretical (i.e., not associated with a school of therapy), pan-diagnostic (i.e. not focused on a single presenting problem), and draws upon the views of what practitioners considered to be the most important generic aspects of psychological wellbeing health to measure. It typically takes between 5-10 minutes to complete.

A short, 10 item version of the CORE-OM, perfect for session-by-session monitoring, can be used as a screening tool and outcome measure when the CORE-OM is considered too long for routine use.

The Young Persons CORE (YP-CORE) is a 10-item measure derived from the CORE-OM and designed for use in the 11-16 age range. Structure is similar to that of the CORE-OM but with items rephrased to be more easily understood by the target age group.

The Impact of Events Scale (IES) is the original measure designed to measure intrusion and avoidance following a traumatic incident(s). The IES has 15 items, seven of which measure intrusive symptoms such as thoughts, nightmares, feelings, and images associated with the specific event. Five of these items reflect intrusive symptoms whilst awake and two reflect intrusion during sleep (nightmares, insomnia). The avoidance subscale has eight items such as numbing of responsiveness, and avoidance of feelings and situations. The intrusion and avoidance components are combined to produce a total score.

Because the 15 item IES does not include a hyper-arousal sub-scale, considered to be the third major symptom of post traumatic stress, the IES-R was developed with the addition of 7 more items to measure the hyper-arousal.

Working with British organisations, Noreen Tehrani wanted a measure to assess the degree of trauma typically following incidents in the workplace or related to work. She felt that the IES-R had not been developed in the naturalistic style of the original IES and developed her own alternative 23 item measure, the IES-E, instead.

The PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) is a 20-item self-report measure that assesses the presence and severity of PTSD symptoms. Items on the PCL-5 correspond with DSM-5 criteria for PTSD. The PCL-5 can be used to quantify and monitor symptoms over time, to screen individuals for PTSD, and to assist in making a provisional or temporary diagnosis of PTSD.
