Results indicate that the PCL-5 is a psychometrically sound measure of PTSD symptoms, and implications for use of the PCl-5 in a variety of assessment contexts are discussed.Abstract:
The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL) is a widely used DSM-correspondent self-report measure of PTSD symptoms. The PCL was recently revised to reflect DSM-5 changes to the PTSD criteria. In this article, the authors describe the development and initial psychometric evaluation of the PCL for DSM-5 (PCL-5). Psychometric properties of the PCL-5 were examined in 2 studies involving trauma-exposed college students. In Study 1 (N = 278), PCL-5 scores exhibited strong internal consistency (α = .94), test-retest reliability (r = .82), and convergent (rs = .74 to .85) and discriminant (rs = .31 to .60) validity. In addition, confirmatory factor analyses indicated adequate fit with the DSM-5 4-factor model, χ2 (164) = 455.83, p < .001, standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) = .07, root mean squared error of approximation (RMSEA) = .08, comparative fit index (CFI) = .86, and Tucker-Lewis index (TLI) = .84, and superior fit with recently proposed 6-factor, χ2 (164) = 318.37, p < .001, SRMR = .05, RMSEA = .06, CFI = .92, and TLI = .90, and 7-factor, χ2 (164) = 291.32, p < .001, SRMR = .05, RMSEA = .06, CFI = .93, and TLI = .91, models. In Study 2 (N = 558), PCL-5 scores demonstrated similarly strong reliability and validity. Overall, results indicate that the PCL-5 is a psychometrically sound measure of PTSD symptoms. Implications for use of the PCL-5 in a variety of assessment contexts are discussed.read more

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors describe neuropsychological, medical, psychiatric, and functional correlates of cognitive complaints experienced after recovery from acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, and show that extremely low test performance is associated with worse acute COVID-19 symptoms, depression, medical comorbidities, functional complaints, and subjective cognitive complaints.

Posttraumatic stress disorder and substance use: Identifying the underlying role of difficulties regulating positive emotions.
TL;DR: Difficulty regulating positive emotions were found to account for the associations between PTSD symptom severity and both alcohol use and problems from drug use and the potential utility of addressing difficulties regulatingpositive emotions in interventions aimed at reducing substance use and abuse among individuals with PTSD is suggested.
