| The validation of a self-report measure of posttraumatic stress disorder: The posttraumatic diagnostic scale. | The instrument is designed to provide both the PTSD diagnosis and symptom severity. "The PTDS begins with a checklist of 12 traumatic events (including an "other" category) in which individuals are asked to indicate how many of these events the individual has experienced or witnessed. Next, individuals are asked to indicate which event has disturbed them the most in the past month, to briefly describe the event in a space provided, and to refer to this event when completing the subsequent sections. Criterion A is assessed by four yes-no questions inquiring about physical injury to themselves or someone else and how the individual felt at the time of the event (e.g., thinking that his or her life was in danger, thinking that someone else's life was in danger, feeling helpless or terrified). Next, individuals are asked to complete 17 items, corresponding to the DSM-IV PTSD symptoms: 5 Re-experiencing, 7 Avoidance, and 5 Arousal. The frequency of each symptom in the past month is rated on a 4-point scale (0 - not at all or only one time; 3 = five or more times a week/almost always). These items were modified from the PSS-SR to correspond with DSM-IV criteria and to increase clarity for individuals with a lower reading level. To address DSM-IV Criterion F, the last section of the scale includes nine items assessing impairment in different life areas (i.e., work, household duties, friendships, leisure activities, schoolwork, family relationships, sex life, general satisfaction with life, overall level of functioning) within the past month, using a yes-no format." The following are the items examples: "Having bad dreams or nightmares about the traumatic event," ' 'Experiencing physical reactions when you were reminded of the traumatic event (for example, breaking out in a sweat, heart beating fast)," 'Trying not to think about, talk about, or have feelings about the traumatic event," "Having much less interest or participating much less often in important activities," "Feeling irritable or having fits of anger," and "Being jumpy or easily startled (for example, when someone walks up behind you)." | Foa, E.
