Description:
Several interviews are available for assessing PTSD. These interviews vary in
merit when compared on stringent psychometric and utility standards. Of all
the interviews, the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (UPS-1) appears to
satisfy these standards most uniformly. The CAPS-1 is a structured interview
for assessing core and associated symptoms of PTSD. It assesses the frequency
and intensity of each symptom using standard prompt questions and explicit,
behaviorally-anchored rating scales. The CAPS-1 yields both continuous and
dichotomous scores for current and lifetime PTSD symptoms. Intended for use
by experienced clinicians, it also can be administered by appropriately trained
paraprofessionals. Data from a large scale psychometric study of the CAPS-1
have provided impressive evidence of its reliability and validity as a PTSD
interview.
