The Adolescent Life Change Event Scale: Its Development and Use

Because of the number of requests, over more than a decade, to use the Adolescent Life Change Event Questionnaire, the author has attempted to review all known studies using this instrument as a preliminary step toward further testing of the questionnaire for validity and reliability. 25 studies, involving 4024 adolescent subjects from 9 states, were reviewed. Recommendations are made regarding future development and use of the instrument.
