Assessing acute stress disorder: psychometric properties of a structured clinical interview
Article Abstract:
The Acute Stress Disorder Interview was validated against clinician-based diagnoses of acute stress disorder (ASD). Results showed that the inventory possessed good internal consistency, specificity and sensitivity. Its test-retest reliability was strong and diagnostic agreement for presence and absence of ASD diagnosis was high. These suggested that the inventory is a useful tool in identifying individuals who suffer from ASD and are at risk of long-term posttraumatic stress disorder.
