Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) | Change from baseline to 2 weeks, change from baseline to 1 month | A 20-item self-report measure that assesses the 20 DSM-5 symptoms of PTSD. 0-4 scale (0=Not at all, 1=A little bit, 2= Moderately, 3=Quite a bit, and 4=Extremely.) A total symptom severity score (range - 0-80) can be obtained by summing the scores for each of the 20 items. |
| Posttraumatic Safety Behavior Questionnaire (PSBQ) | Change from baseline to 2 weeks, change from baseline to 1 month | A 23-item self-report measure assessing frequency of use of 23 trauma-related safety behaviors. 0-4 scale (0=Never, 1=Rarely, 2= Sometimes, 3=Often, and 4=Always.) A total safety behavior use score (range - 0-92) can be obtained by summing the scores for each of the 23 items. |
