The Clinically Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) is a structured clinical interview that includes 30 questions that assess current and lifetime PTSD diagnosis [43]. It includes questions from the DSM-5 PTSD symptoms and requires a traumatic event that symptoms are assessed in relation to PTSD severity, dissociative symptoms as well as impact on work and recreational functioning. The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5) is a semi-structured interview for making the major DSM-5 diagnoses [44]. The SCID is broken down into separate modules corresponding to categories of diagnoses. A diagnosis of PTSD was made following the PTSD diagnostic algorithm and used to assign subjects to the GWIH and GWIL groups.
