Developing an optimal short-form of the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) (2019, background): “Although the PCL‐5 has excellent psychometric properties (Blevins, Weathers, Davis, Witte, & Domino, 2015; Bovin et al., 2016; Keane et al., 2014; Wortmann et al., 2016), one weakness is the scale's length (5–10min completion time; National Center for PTSD), which is problematic given that VA/DoD…”
The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5): Development and Initial Psychometric Evaluation. (2015, background): “Nonetheless, all participants were trauma-exposed, based on a rigorous assessment of Criterion A; mean PCL and PCL-5 scores were comparable to those of warzone deployed soldiers (Hoge et al., 2014); and prevalence of a presumed PTSD diagnosis based on a PCL score of 40 was 21.”
Psychometric properties of the PTSD Checklist for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fifth Edition (PCL-5) in veterans. (2016, neutral): “:3) for PCL-C scores was .95 for the combined samples.”
Psychometric analysis of the PTSD Checklist-5 (PCL-5) among treatment-seeking military service members. (2016, methodology): “Ideally, the PCL-S and PCL-5 presentation order would have been counterbalanced (as in Hoge et al., 2014), with both measures presented prior to the PSS-I to minimize carryover effects from the interview to the self-report measures.”
