Assessment Request Form

The Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS; including DSM-IV, DSM-5, and Child/Adolescent versions) may be requested below. Other National Center measures are available for direct download on the specific assessment page. For measures developed outside of the National Center for PTSD, information on how to obtain the instrument is available on the relevant assessment page. See a list of all measures. If you have questions, please contact ncptsd.assessment@va.gov.

PLEASE NOTE: The American Psychological Association's ethical guidelines on psychological test instruments require advanced graduate level training in the administration and interpretation of psychodiagnostic assessment instruments. Thus, access to these measures requires proof of clinical status or research credentials. Please also clarify your intended use of the measure. Students who want measures for course papers are encouraged to use sample items or have their clinical professors make the formal request.
