UNASSIGNED: [Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported in Vol 28(10) of (see record ). In the article, the third sentence of the Internal Consistency subsection of the Results section should read: Item 8, "Not being able to remember important parts of the @entity130 ," had an item-total correlation of .34, and Item 16, "Taking more risks or doing things that might cause you or others harm" had an item-total correlation of .44; the range of item-total correlations for the remaining 18 items was .62-.82, with an average of .70."] The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale for @entity4987 (PDS-5), a self-report measure of @entity1005 ( @entity1005 ) based on diagnostic criteria of the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of @entity146 . @entity1 were 242 urban community residents, veterans, and college undergraduates recruited from 3 study sites who had experienced a @entity4987 Criterion A traumatic experience. The PDS-5 demonstrated excellent internal consistency (a = .95) and test-retest reliability (r = .90) and good convergent validity with the @entity1005 Checklist-Specific Version (r = .90) and the @entity1005 Symptom Scale-Interview Version for @entity4987 (PSSI-5; r = .85). The PDS-5 also showed good discriminant validity with the Beck Depression Inventory-II and the State-Trait @entity148 Inventory-Trait scale (all ZH > 3.05, ps < .01). There was 78% agreement between the PDS-5 and the PSSI-5. Receiver operating characteristic analysis yielded a cutoff score of 28 for identifying a probable @entity1005 diagnosis. The PDS-5 is a valid and reliable measure of @entity4987 @entity1005 symptomatology. (PsycINFO Database Record
