Foire aux questions

What is a positive PCL-5 score?

Can the PCL-5 be used to track treatment progress?

How do you interpret a PCL-5 score?

PCL-5 scores range from 0–80. A score of 31–33 or above is the recommended provisional cutoff for PTSD (National Center for PTSD). Scores below 20 suggest minimal symptoms; 21–32 is subthreshold; 33–49 indicates moderate PTSD symptoms warranting evaluation; 50–80 indicates severe symptoms.
