An alternate overall score (TSCC:A) is generated if Sexual Concerns items are not completed.

Scoring:

• Tear off the perforated strips along the side of the completed form and peel away the side of the top sheet to reveal the scoring sheet beneath. 
• The scoring sheet is used to calculate the General Trauma (GT) raw score and the Sexual Concerns (SC) raw score.
• The SC subscale is scored separately from the GT subscale because sexual symptoms are somewhat specific to childhood sexual abuse, whereas nonsexual symptoms reflect general abuse-related impacts.
