(1) The TCARE screening measures are scored with a number value of one through six for the measure on identity discrepancy or one through five for the remaining measures based upon the caregiver's responses. Ranges for each measure determine whether the measure score is high, medium, or low. One high or three medium scores from the table in this subsection, except for the uplifts measure, will make a caregiver eligible for a TCARE assessment and step three services as described in WAC
388-106-1915 (3)(a)(ii). The following table indicates the score ranges for each measure:
| High | Medium | Low |
Identity discrepancy | 22-36 | 14-21 | 6-13 |
Relationship burden | 13-25 | 8-12 | 5-7 |
Objective burden | 24-30 | 18-23 | 6-17 |
Stress burden | 17-25 | 12-16 | 5-11 |
Uplifts | 19-30 | 13-18 | 6-12 |
Depression-CESD | 26-40 | 19-25 | 10-18 |
(2) The scale used to score the responses within the identity discrepancy measure is:
(a) Strongly disagree = one;
(b) Disagree = two;
(c) Disagree a little = three;
(d) Agree a little = four;
(e) Agree = five; and
(f) Agree strongly = six.
(3) The scale used to score the responses to the relationship, objective, stress, and uplift measures are:
(a) Not at all = one;
(b) A little = two;
(c) Moderately = three;
(d) A lot = four; and
(e) A great deal = five.
(4) The scale used to score the responses within the depression measures in WAC
388-106-1931 (5)(a), (b), (c), (d), (f), (g), (i) and (j) are:
(a) Rarely or none of the time (less than one day in the last week) = one;
(b) Some or a little of the time (one to two days in the last week) = two;
(c) Occasionally or a moderate amount of time (three to four days in the last week) = three; and
(d) All of the time (five to seven days in the last week) = four.
(5) The scale used to score the responses within the depression measures in WAC
388-106-1931 (5)(e) and (h) are:
(a) Rarely or none of the time (less than one day in the last week) = four;
(b) Some or a little of the time (one to two days in the last week) = three;
(c) Occasionally or a moderate amount of time (three to four days in the last week) = two; and
(d) All of the time (five to seven days in the last week) = one.
