Assessment of older combat veterans with the clinician‐administered PTSD scale

Hyer, Lee, Summers, Mary N., Boyd, Stephanie, Litaker, Mark, Boudewyns, Patrick·1996·Journal of Traumatic Stress

Abstract

A study of the posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among older combat veterans of World War II and the Korean Conflict was conducted. The Clinician‐Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) was given to 125 older combat veterans, along with a computerized variant of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM‐III‐R for PTSD, the SCID‐DTREE. (The SCID‐DTREE was itself validated against the full SCID). Results showed the CAPS to be a good discriminator of PTSD: Out of the 125 cases, only 9 were misclassified using the SCID‐DTREE as the base measure, a 93% efficiency. An alpha on the full CAPS was 95. This suggests that the CAPS is an appropriate scale for use with older combat veterans.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Studies conducted with the earlier version of the SCID suggest good concomitant validity (κ = 0.69) and good convergent validity with other measures of PTSD, such as the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
