In case you show any of the above symptoms and
you wonder if maybe you need help, it would be ad-
visable to fill out the following questionnaire. This
is a short questionnaire to determine the presence
or absence of symptoms that may interfere with the
development of your normal life. After filling it out,
follow the scoring instructions and, if you get a score
higher than indicated, then it would be advisable for
you to seek professional support from a psycholo-
gist specialized on victims of terrorism.
Instructions: Below you
will find a series of issues
that people sometimes face, as
a result of being exposed to highly
stressful experiences. Please read
each one of them carefully and
circle the number on the right that
best indicates how much that
issue has bothered you in the
last month.
