Understanding and comparing these differences can provide guidance on instrument selection for future research and evidence synthesis efforts. We analyzed data from the PTSD-Repository, a database of 318 PTSD RCTs on adults, to describe the instruments used, the assessment types (structured clinical interview, clinical diagnosis, or self-report questionnaire), and the relationship between assessment type and study characteristics (e.g., pharmacologic vs. non-pharmacologic). 000008386 540__ $$fCC BY 000008386 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000008386 650__ $$aStress Disorders, Post-Traumatic$$026468 000008386 650__ $$aSymptom Assessment$$040186 000008386 650__ $$aDiagnosis$$017684 000008386 650__ $$aRandomized Controlled Trials as Topic$$028836 000008386 650__ $$aSurveys and Questionnaires$$025037 000008386 650__ $$aMental Health$$022046 000008386 650__ $$aMental Disorders$$015415 000008386 6531_ $$aPTSD 000008386 692__ $$aCenter to Improve Veteran Involvement in Care$$041390 000008386 7001_ $$aCameron, David$$uPortland VA Medical Center$$041358 000008386 7001_ $$aHamblen, Jessica$$uPortland VA Medical Center$$041358 000008386 7001_ $$aNorman, Sonya$$uPortland VA Medical Center$$041358 000008386 7001_ $$aHsu, Frances$$uPortland VA Medical Center$$041358 000008386 7001_ $$aCheney, Tamara$$uPortland VA Medical Center$$041358 000008386 7001_ $$aMcDonagh, Marian$$uPortland VA Medical Center$$041358 000008386 7001_ $$aCarlson, Kathleen$$uPortland VA Medical Center$$041358 000008386 7001_ $$aO’Neil, Maya$$uPortland VA Medical Center$$041358 000008386 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2020 000008386 8564_ $$9f7087d88-db13-43a4-84ed-2313a99f23aa$$s45663$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8386/files/ResearchWeek.2020.Cameron.David.pdf 000008386 905__ $$a/rest/prod/np/19/39/96/np193996k 000008386 980__ $$aResearch Week
