Comparing two PTSD screening tests
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares two different questionnaires doctors use to assess PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) symptoms. If you’ve had a traumatic event and currently have PTSD symptoms, it may help improve how PTSD is identified in active-duty service members and veterans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be an active-duty service member or a military veteran, age 18 or older
- Have had a past event that qualifies as a traumatic experience (per a checklist the study uses)
- Score high enough on a PTSD symptom screening form called PC-PTSD-5
