NCPTSD Measures: Translations

Available translations:

  • Life Events Checklist for DSM-5 (LEC-5): Extended verion available in Spanish
  • Primary Care PTSD Screen for DSM-5 (PC-PTSD-5): Available in Spanish
  • PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5): Standard version available in Spanish

General information about each measure can be found on respective pages for each assessment: LEC-5; PC-PTSD-5; and PCL-5.

Resources to Search for Additional Translations

Other than the Spanish translations listed above, there are no official translations for any of the National Center for PTSD assessment measures. The following resources may be helpful to search for additional translations:
