AB  - BACKGROUND: Childhood abuse and neglect have been associated with long term 
      psychological consequences. There is no valid, reliable and gender invariant 
      scale available for the evaluation of childhood abuse and neglect among Nigerian 
      adolescents. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form 
      (CTQ-SF) in terms of its factor structure, validity, reliability, and gender 
      measurement invariance among Nigerian adolescents. METHOD: Senior high school 
      adolescents (n = 1337, aged 13-18 years) completed the CTQ-SF in addition to the 
      Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the 12-items General Health 
      Questionnaire (GHQ-12), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and the Positive 
      and Negative Suicide Ideation Inventory (PANSI). Confirmatory factor analysis 
      (CFA) was used to test the original (Bernstein et al., 2003) and alternative 
      (Gerdner & Allgulander, 2009) CTQ-SF models. The fit indices of these two models 
      tested applying CFA were compared. Concurrent validity of the CTQ-SF was examined 
      with correlational analyses with other study measures. The internal consistencies 
      of the CTQ-SF and its subscales were examined with the MacDonald's omega (omega(h)) 
      coefficients. Gender measurement invariance was evaluated with multiple-group CFA 
      (MGCFA). RESULTS: The alternative CTQ-SF model compared to the original model 
      exhibited a better fit (CFI = 0.928, RMSEA = 0.046 [90 %CI: 0.043-0.050], 
      SRMR = 0.044). The internal consistency and concurrent validity of this model 
      were satisfactory. MGCFA provided evidence that supported the configural, metric 
      and scalar gender measurement invariance. CONCLUSION: The alternative CTQ-SF 
      exhibited satisfactory validity, reliability, and gender measurement invariance 
      and, therefore, could be used for the evaluation and gender comparison of abuse 
      and neglect among Nigerian adolescents.
