Abstract | Children in Kenya's Kisumu District Primary Schools (N = 430) completed three measures of trauma. Respondents completed the "My Worst Experience Scale" (MWES; Hyman and Snook 2002) and its supplement, the "School Alienation and Trauma Survey" (SATS; Hyman and Snook 2002), sharing their worst experiences overall and specifically in schools. Participants also completed the "Trauma and Attachment Belief Scale" (TABS; Pearlman 2003), addressing their experiences of violence. The study examined children's perceptions about themselves and others in the aftermath of violent experiences and the relationship between children's trauma symptoms from experiencing violence and their social and academic functioning. Differences in the presence, frequency, and severity of symptoms emerged, with a large percentage attaining statistical and clinical significance. Research and practice implications are provided.
