Link: https://doi.org/10.1080/10530789.2019.1671572
Authors: Nathaniel A. Dell, Jin Huang, Gary Morse, and Pallavi NishithOverview: The relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) is the subject of ongoing inquiry. Homeless adults with psychiatric illnesses are at risk for comorbid PTSD and MDD. However, the factor structures of commonly used screening tools for PTSD (PCL-5) and MDD (PHQ-9), and their interrelationships, have not been widely investigated in this population. This article tests the factor structure of the PCL-5 and PHQ-9 in a sample of chronically homeless adults who reported lifetime trauma exposure and were enrolled into intensive community mental health services.
