Questionnaires
Child and Adolescent Survey of Experiences (CASE-CP)
The CASE provides a measure of stressful life experiences of relevance to children and adolescents. There are versions to be completed by the young person themselves as well as a carer. Items for the CASE were designed to parallel a standard clinical interview measure of life events, the Psychosocial Assessment of Childhood Experiences (PACE; Sandberg et al., 1993).

Teacher Response to Anxiety in Children (TRAC)
TRAC assesses teacher responses to child anxiety in hypothetical scenarios, where children display symptoms of the most common forms of anxiety in the primary school years: Social Anxiety, Separation Anxiety, and Generalised Anxiety/Worry. For each scenario, teachers are asked to rate the likelihood of responding in each of six possible ways, with each response representing theoretically different ways of responding to children’s anxious behaviours. Response types include: Anxiety-Promoting Responses (Overprotection, Sanctions, Avoidance Reinforcement) and Autonomy-Promoting Responses (Rewards, Encouragement, Problem-solving).
