Commonly asked questions

No. It is a research tool. It’s not meant to analyze respondents for potential PTSD or anything officially. Under no circumstance should this be used to diagnose people with PTSD.

Tools like the Potential Stressful Events Interview (PSEI), Trauma History Questionnaire (THQ), and Moral Injury and Distress Scale (MIDS) can be used in a comprehensive assessment of a traumatized patient.

You may download this tool and use it to reflect on your experiences and symptoms of trauma and post-traumatic stress, but please make sure not to self-diagnose yourself with PTSD. If you think your scores are concerning, please see a professional so that you can be properly diagnosed and get the treatment you need.
