About the Study
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition triggered either by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event. Symptoms of PTSD may start to appear one month after experiencing a traumatic event.
Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) is the gold-standard tool used to assess the presence and severity of PTSD in an individual. This study aims to find out the reliability of this tool and compare it to the previous PTSD assessment tool (CAPS-IV).
The study seeks active duty military service members aged 18 years or older who are experiencing symptoms of PTSD (diagnosed or suspected). Participants may be asked to complete up to 7 study visits virtually or onsite for up to 4 months. Participants may get up to $600 for participating in this study. Participation in this study may help identify more effective ways to assess the presence and severity of PTSD
