Abstract: = .80). Scores on the PCL-5 and PC-PTSD-5 had similar characteristics. The CAD-PTSD demonstrated poor diagnostic efficiency, κ(.5, 0) = .40, and test-retest reliability (κ = .25), whereas previously established cut-scores for the PCL-5 and PC-PTSD-5 showed fair to good diagnostic utility and adequate to good test-retest reliability. Results suggest that the CAT-PTSD may provide a valid indicator of PTSD symptom severity, but does not offer incremental value beyond the PCL-5 and PC-PTSD-5. The CAD-PTSD was markedly inferior to the use of PCL-5 or PC-PTSD-5 cut scores. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
