Psychometric evaluation of age- and culture-appropriate Hindi trauma-related questionnaires for children and adolescents.
Article in Child and adolescent psychiatry and mental health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundGiven India's high rates of trauma exposure and mental health service shortages, age- and culture-appropriate self-report tools may enhance detection and treatment of trauma-related symptoms in low-resource settings. This study psychometrically evaluated Hindi versions of three trauma-related questionnaires: the Children's Revised Impact of Event Scale (CRIES-13), the Child Post-Traumatic Cognitions Inventory (CPTCI), and the Depression Self-Rating Scale for Children (DSRS-C), that were adapted for children and adolescents in previous research.
methodsA total of 305 Hindi-speaking participants aged 6-18 completed the questionnaires online. Confirmatory factor analyses and Cronbach's alpha were conducted to evaluate the internal structure and internal consistency of the questionnaires, and Pearson's correlations were computed to evaluate their convergent validity.
resultsThe CRIES-13 best fits a three-factor model, the CPTCI a two-factor model, and the DSRS-C a two-factor model. Internal consistency was acceptable to excellent across scales, except for the Arousal subscale of the CRIES-13. Convergent validity was supported by moderate to strong intercorrelations and associations with trauma exposure indices.
conclusionsThe adapted Hindi instruments are psychometrically promising tools for assessing trauma-related symptoms among Indian youth that could inform the diagnosis and treatment of trauma-exposed populations. Limitations and future research directions are discussed.
