The title of the article selected is “The Clinician-Administered PSTD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5): Development and Initial Psychometric Evaluation in Military Veterans", and talks about a posttraumatic stress disorder called DSM-5. The study discusses the development of CAPS for DSM-5. Accordingly, the authors give the outcomes of an initial psychometric evaluation of CPS-5 scores in 2 samples of military veterans (Ns = 165 and 207).
The study had some limitations, and the first one was that the study subjects were military veterans selected from a single geographical area, and many were men. As such, it was not clear how accurate the findings generalize to nonveterans and females. Also, the sample sizes were modest, especially for the comparison between CAPS-5 and CAPS-IV in the first phase.
The study gave undisputed evidence that the CAPS-5 is a psychometrically sound measure of DSM-5 PTSD diagnostic status and severity of the symptom. Furthermore, the streamlined format of CAPS-5 facilitates administration and scoring and makes it simple to learn than CAPS-IV.
