Psychometric properties of the Swedish PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5).

• Recent changes in the criteria of posttraumatic stress disorder call for new evaluations of tools to assess posttraumatic symptomatology. The aim of this study is to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Swedish PTSD Checklist (PCL-5)1, which was recently revised in accordance to the Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, 5th ed2. This poster will present data from an ongoing study with approximately 150 participants who were assessed with rating scales of posttraumatic stress and clinical interviews (CAPS-55 and MINI 6.04). The focus will be on the psychometric properties of the PCL-5 and its relationship to the CAPS-5, the Impact of Event Scale-Revised3, and the MINI. Preliminary results will detail screening and psychometric properties of the PCL-5, including internal consistency, test-retest reliability, convergent and discriminant validity as well as sensitivity and specificity for PTSD according to CAPS-5. Relevance: Information about the psychometric properties of the PCL-5 is timely and relevant for clinicians. Performance assessments in different countries also provide a basis for future evaluations of cultural invariance of a measure. PTSD poses an on-going and increasing burden on society and documented methods of detection is key to identify individuals in need of further services.
