Checklist of Avoidance Strategy engagement for Adolescents (CEASE-A)

The CEASE-A (Fairholme & Ehrenreich, 2008) is a 29-item checklist assessing frequency of engagement in avoidance and safety behaviors in adolescents. Respondents are asked to indicate the frequency with which they use certain behaviors to manage or avoid feelings of anxiety, anger, fear, or sadness on a 5-point Likert-type scale (0 = Never do to deal with feelings; 1 = Rarely do to deal with feelings; 2 = Sometimes do to deal with feelings; 3 = Usually do to deal with feelings; 4 = Always do to deal with feelings). The CEASE-A has five subscales: Use of Distraction, Use of Individuals as Safety Signals, Use of Safety Behaviors, Avoidance of Situations that Promote Strong Sensations, and Avoidance of Emotional Situations.


Translation Information:

The CEASE-A was translated by the COMET study (University of Miami Protocol #20150187) team, Principal Investigators Drs. Jensen-Doss and Ehrenreich-May. It was first forward translated by a study team member.  A back translation was then conducted by a separate member of the study team who had not seen the original measure. Discrepancies were discussed and verified.
