Global Psychotrauma Screen

Background and aims

The GPS was developed by an international group of experts representing traumatic stress societies worldwide, called the Global Collaboration on Traumatic Stress (Schnyder et al., 2017), GC Theme 1 group, with the aim to address the need for a brief instrument that would tap potential (long term) consequences of (child) trauma, broader than PTSD symptoms (see domains below). It can be applied to tap the consequences of all types of trauma including more recent events.
