Common Data Elements in the Assessment of Military-Related PTSD Research Applied in the Consortium to Alleviate PTSD.

Conclusion: Although further research is needed to determine the incremental validity of these CDEs, preliminary analyses indicated that each mandated measure has very good internal consistency reliability. Investigators designing military-related PTSD research should consider using these field-tested CDEs to facilitate future data aggregation. Feedback based on empirical evidence or practical concerns to improve these CDEs is welcome. PMID: 30252077 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
