Background: Assessment is fundamental to the implementation of trauma-informed care. As trauma-informed care advances among organizations supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), it is critical that they have access to validated assessment tools.
Objective: This is the first study to examine the psychometric properties of two brief measures associated with trauma-informed care, Trauma-Informed Climate Scale (TICS-10) and Attitudes Related to Trauma-Informed Care (ARTIC-10), using data from the IDD service industry.
Methods: We employed structural equation modeling to examine the factor structure, reliability of TICS-10 and ARTIC-10, and construct validity with the ProQOL using secondary data from 374 service providers.
Results: We confirmed the factorial validity of TICS-10 and ARTIC-10 with single factor solutions; however, modifications were necessary to achieve adequate model fit.
Conclusions: The current study provides initial evidence of the validity and reliability of TICS-10 and ARTIC-10 when used within organizations supporting people with IDD. Recommendations for subsequent improvements and future research of the scales are provided.

Importance: During buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD), risk factors for opioid relapse or treatment dropout include comorbid substance use disorder, anxiety, or residual opioid craving. There is a need for a well-powered trial to evaluate virtually delivered groups, including both mindfulness and evidence-based approaches, to address these comorbidities during buprenorphine treatment.
