It is an effective, clinical tool, which can be administered to 12 years and older in 5 minutes with 5 scales measuring:
- Physical abuse
- Sexual abuse
- Emotional abuse
- Physical neglect

It includes a minimisation denial scale for detecting individuals who maybe under reporting traumatic events and interpretative guidelines which allow for identification of three levels of severity of abuse, neglect (low, moderate, severe).
