Design outcomes

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
With the Vragenlijst Belastende Ervaringen (VBE; Nijenhuis e.a.) the history of the several kinds of trauma, the severity and the timecourse are carefully traced. A comparison will also be made between the groups which differ in order of onset of the comorbid disorders, in regard to the various outcomes of the VBE (the nature of the trauma, period of time, severity and age at onset). In some addicition care institutions, the Depressie-Angst-Stress Schaal (DASS; de Beurs e.a.) is a regular intake-instrument to determine psychiatric comorbidity. The psychometric qualities of the DASS in detecting PTSD in relation to the other instruments (KIP, ZIL and M.I.N.I.-plus) will be assessed. Alexithymia will be scored with the TAS-20 and the BVAQ.	—

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The first important study parameters are the sensitivity and specificity of the screeners (ZIL and the M.I.N.I. Plus (PTSD section)), with the diagnostic interview (KIP) as the golden standard. The second important study parameter is the difference between the NEO FFI profiles of the group PTSD-SUD and the group SUD-PTSD.	—
