TSCYC protocols typically were collected from consecutive abuse or trauma cases
presenting to these programs—in no instance known to the authors was a protocol administered
based on specific client characteristics (e.g., sex, race, or clinical severity) or type of

trauma centers, based on their regular intake process, and thus represented the type of
children likely to be evaluated with the TSCYC in the future.
Scoring of the TSCYC was done based on the upcoming professional manual for this test
