Life Events Checklist (LEC)

On August 17, 2011, SAMHSA-HRSA Center for Integrated Health Solutions (CIHS) published a checklist of life events. The Life Event Checklist (LEC) is a brief, 17 item, self-report measure designed to screen for potentially traumatic events in a respondent's lifetime. The LEC assesses exposure to 16 events known to potentially result in PTSD or distress and one item assessing any other extraordinarily stressful event.  The checklist is included as a resource on the SAMHSA-HRSA Center for Integrated Health Solutions (CIHS) website . . .
