Least Squares Mean Global Social Adjustment Score on the Longitudinal Interval Follow-up Evaluation (LIFE) Using a Repeated Measures ANCOVA Adjusted for Baseline Scores and Time Effects
Tidsramme: Baseline, 12 weeks (end of treatment), 3 and 6 months post-treatment
|
Psychosocial functioning scales from the clinician administered Longitudinal Interval Follow-up Evaluation (LIFE) provides assessment of functioning in areas of work (employment, household, or student), various aspects of interpersonal functioning, recreation and satisfaction.
The global social adjustment score is based upon a 5 point scale.

The psychosocial functioning ratings have been found to be of generally high reliability.
Minimum and Maximum Values range from 1 to 5, higher scores mean worse functioning.

Least Squares Mean Total Score on the Outcomes Questionnaire (OQ) Using a Repeated Measures ANCOVA Adjusted for Baseline Scores and Time Effects
Tidsramme: Baseline, 12 weeks, 3 and 6 months post-treatment
|
The OQ is a self report measure that assesses functioning and includes three subscales: symptom distress, interpersonal relations, and social role functioning.
Concurrent validity has been demonstrated in relation to internal consistency and reliability.
Additionally, the OQ has been shown to be fairly stable in untreated individuals and sensitive to change in those individuals in treatment.
Minimum and Maximum Values range from 0 to 180, higher scores mean worse functioning.

|
The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF), is 26 item self-report measure used to assess quality of life in multiple domains (i.e., physical, psychological, social, and environment).

Least Squares Mean PTSD Severity Score on the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) for DSM-5 Using a Repeated Measures ANCOVA Adjusted for Baseline Scores and Time Effects
Tidsramme: Baseline,12 weeks (end of treatment), 3 and 6 months post-treatment
|
The CAPS-5 (updated for DSM-5) is a clinician administered structured interview for the assessment of DSM-5 PTSD.
The CAPS has excellent reliability and validity and is widely used in PTSD treatment research.
Each one of the DSM-5 PTSD symptoms is rated on a 0-4 (low to high) scale to determine symptom severity.
The cutoff used to establish the presence of an individual symptom is a score of 2 or greater.
Overall PTSD severity is computed by summing the totals for all items.
Minimum and Maximum Values range from 0 to 80, higher scores mean higher levels of symptomatology.
