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 Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM–5 (CAPS-5): Development and Initial Psychometric Evaluation in Military Veterans (2017, background): “PCL-5 scores have excellent psychometric properties, including strong internal consistency, test–retest reliability, convergent and discriminant validity, structural validity, diagnostic utility, and sensitivity to clinical change (Blevins, Weathers, Davis, Witte, & Domino, 2015; Bovin et al., 2016;”
Item Ordering and Computerized Classification Tests With Cluster-Based Scoring: An Investigation of the Countdown Method (2017, methodology): “Indeed, practitioners using the PCL-5 to screen respondents for PTSD may infer from the results that maintaining the standard PCL-5 ordering within each cluster yields adequate efficiency in comparison with the Mean Score procedure.”
