A clinician filling out the CAPS-5 form.

During this lesson, you will practice scoring the CAPS-5. This practice session requires you to watch a therapist administer the CAPS-5 and for you to concurrently score the CAPS-5 along with the therapist. After you submit your ratings, you will get to view the therapist's ratings and compare the two sets of ratings.

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

  • Determine whether Criterion A is met during a CAPS-5 interview.
  • Rate the intensity and frequency of a interviewee's symptoms during a CAPS-5 interview.
  • Complete the scoring of a CAPS-5 interview.

The next 2 pages are provided as a review of CAPS-5 administration and scoring procedures before you begin the CAPS-5 practice.
