Measurement Invariance of the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale: The Intersection of Race and Gender

Saturday, October 26, 2024
3:00 PM – 3:30 PM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Room 2211
We will explore the measurement invariance of the secondary traumatic stress scale among different racial and gender groups. Furthermore, we will suggest the significance of developing a culturally responsive assessment tool to enhance the well-being and health of culturally diverse child welfare workers.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Understand the concept of measurement invariance, including its definition, principles, evaluation techniques, and applications.
  2. Acquire knowledge about the assessment of secondary traumatic stress (STS) among child welfare workers and examine racial and gender disparities in STS through an intersectional perspective.
  3. Discuss the significance of developing a culturally responsive scale that comprehensively captures the accurate signs and symptoms of STS among different racial and gender groups.
