UCLA Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Reaction Index for DSM-5 (PTSD-RI) –Caregiver Report Version

TF-CBT Cohort 16-18

The UCLA PTSD Reaction Index for DSM 5 (UCLA PTSD RI – DSM 5): Caregiver-report version* is a caregiver-report measure of a child or adolescent’s PTSD symptoms (i.e., DSM 5 symptom categories B – E for PTSD diagnosis: re-experiencing, avoidance and numbing, increased arousal, and alterations in arousal and reactivity), dissociative symptoms, and their severity. 

Descriptive Statistics:  Pre- and post-treatment assessment measure means, standard deviations, and standard errors for each subscale of the UCLA PTSD RI – DSM 5: Caregiver Report are listed in the tables below, as well as the range of possible scores for each subscale. The UCLA PTSD-RI for DSM 5 has a clinical cutoff score for the total score on the child-report version; however, a clinical cut-off score is not currently available for the caregiver-report version of the measure. As such, individual clinically-significant change is not analyzed below for the caregiver-report UCLA PTSD-RI for DSM 5.
