Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric validation of the Indonesian version of the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) in a trauma-exposed sample of women.

The PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) is the most widely used questionnaire to screen for symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the literature and clinical contexts. This study aimed to: (1) perform a cross-cultural adaptation of PCL-5 to the Indonesian sociolinguistic context; (2) assess the psychometric validity and reliability of the adapted version; (3) examine the prevalence of PTSD in the sample using the diagnostic guidelines from DSM-5 and a cut-off score derived from empirical analysis; (4) evaluate PTSD factor structures using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA); and (5) investigate the convergent and discriminant validity of the adapted scale. The study focused on a sample of Indonesian women, including women who had experienced sexual assault, other types of trauma, or no traumatic exposure.

Findings from a roundtable discussion with Pakistani stakeholders on measuring and valuing health and health-related quality of life for children and adolescents.

Background: Children and adolescents represent a distinct population with specific healthcare needs, requiring appropriate consideration in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measurements and economic evaluations. In Pakistan, the absence of local value sets for children and adolescent health states and the limited application of health technology assessment (HTA) pose challenges to informed equitable decision-making and resource allocation. Valuing children and adolescents' health involves methodological and ethical complexities, particularly in determining whose preferences should be considered and how trade-offs between length and quality of life should be addressed.
