Description
The University of California, Los Angeles, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Reaction Index (UCLA PTSD Index) for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.; DSM-IV) is a self-administered scale that includes a checklist of potentially traumatic events and 20 items that screen for PTSD symptoms and their frequency over the past month. Each of the symptoms items is scored on a 5-point scale (0 = none of the time; 4 = most of the time), but only 17 of the items that correspond to the DSM‑IV PTSD symptom criteria are included in the total score. Additional scoring instructions, including how to calculate severity scores, are included in the score sheet.
There are three versions of the UCLA PTSD Index: a Child Version for ages between 7 and 12; a Parent Version for children between the ages of 7 and 12; and an Adolescent Version for youth between the ages 13 and 18. The instructions and questions should be read to children under the age of 12 or to youth with reading difficulties.
Specific Instructions
The University of California, Los Angeles, PTSD Reaction Index (UCLA PTSD Index) for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.; DSM-IV) is a proprietary instrument, and administration requires a license from UCLA IP Marketplace.
This measure includes both the DSM-IV and DSM-5 versions of the UCLA PTSD Index. The PhenX External Review Panel anticipates that scientific demands will dictate that researchers typically collect data in accordance with the most recent PTSD criteria and will use the DSM-5 version of the protocol. However, under special circumstances (e.g., when adding to older, existing data sets), researchers may decide to use the DSM-IV version instead.
