The Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM–5 (CAPS-5): Development and initial psychometric evaluation in military veterans.

Abstract: The Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) is an extensively validated and widely used structured diagnostic interview for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The CAPS was recently revised to correspond with PTSD criteria in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013). This article describes the development of the CAPS for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) and presents the results of an initial psychometric evaluation of CAPS-5 scores in 2 sam… Show more

“…Lastly, we used the DSM-IV-TR (APA, 2000) diagnostic criteria for PTSD and not the DSM-5 (APA, 2013). However, recent research showed that the CAPS-IV diagnosis closely corresponds to the CAPS-5 diagnosis, with most patients diagnosed according to the DSM-IV criteria also meeting the DSM-5 criteria for PTSD (Weathers et al, 2017). We therefore assume that our results also apply to PTSD populations diagnosed using the DSM-5 criteria.…”

“…Items are rated on a 5-point scale of frequency and severity (0 = not at all; 4 = six or more times a week/severe). The PDS-5 demonstrated excellent reliability (α = .95 for internal consistency, r  = .90 for one-week test-retest reliability) as well as good diagnostic agreement with the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5; Weathers et al, 2013). The optimal cut-off score for identifying probable PTSD diagnosis is 28, with sensitivity 79% and specificity 78% (Foa et al, 2016).…”

“…Items with a score of ≥ 2 are counted toward diagnosis. Psychometric studies of the CAPS-5 are currently underway; initial experience suggests that it has strong interrater reliability and is generally more user-friendly and efficient than previous versions (Weathers, Marx, Friedman, & Schnurr, 2014; Weathers et al, 2017). …”
