Abstract
 
 The present study evaluates the back translation in Urdu and factor structure of Impact of Event Scale-Revised. The scale was administered to 446 adolescents in Pakistan with modifications to the time frame. Indirect traumatic exposure had occurred over six months to 2 years ago. Cronbach alpha coefficients of .78 for Intrusion subscale, .74 for Avoidance subscale and .66 for Hyperarousal subscales; and .88 for total scale scores are reported. Principal component analysis revealed a 3-factor solution explaining 45 % of the variance; factor structure was not similar to the proposed theoretical structure of IES-R. Endemic characteristics and cultural setup of the country highlight need to understand development and expression of trauma in the cultural milieu and direct future research for intervention strategies in schools.
