Term Description

The PCL-5 is a 20-item self-report measure of the DSM-5 symptoms of PTSD. The wording of PCL-5 items reflects both changes to existing symptoms and the addition of new symptoms in DSM-5.
The PCL has a variety of purposes including, screening individuals for PTSD, diagnosing PTSD and monitoring symptom change during and after treatment. The PCL-C (civilian) asks about symptoms in relation to "stressful experiences." The PCL-C is useful because it can be used with any population. The symptoms endorsed may not be specific to just one event, which can be helpful when assessing survivors who have symptoms due to multiple events. Typically, it is optimal to assess traumatic event exposure to ensure that a respondent has experienced at least one Criterion A event.
