Psychometric properties of the German version of the clinician-administered PTSD scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) in routine clinical settings: a multi-trait/multi-method study in civilians and military personnel
Psychometric properties of the German version of the clinician-administered PTSD scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) in routine clinical settings: a multi-trait/multi-method study in civilians and military personnelThe Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS-5) is a structured diagnostic interview developed for diagnosing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). To ensure compliance with PTSD inclusion criteria, an initial study investigated the psychometric properties and factorial structure of the German version of CAPS-5 using data collected previously. The present study’s objective was to validate the robustness of the psychometric properties of the German CAPS-5 by assessing its validity within a routine clinical context.https://www.psych.uni-goettingen.de/de/trace/publications-folder/psychometric-properties-of-the-german-version-of-the-clinician-administered-ptsd-scale-for-dsm-5-caps-5-in-routine-clinical-settings-a-multi-trait-multi-method-study-in-civilians-and-military-personnel-1https://www.psych.uni-goettingen.de/@@site-logo/university-of-goettingen-logo.svg
