Posttraumatic stress disorder in childhood and adolescence: Issues on diagnosis and assessment Abstract: The aim of the study was to compare DSM-IV, DSM-5 and alternative criteria for PTSD, in three independent samples, with the purpose of analyzing their suitability. The sample consisted of 361 minors with ages between 8 and 18 years, (122 community sample, 86 minors that suffered chronic family violence and 153 minors exposed to intimate partner violence). From the entire sample, 52.9% (n = 191) were girls and 47.1% (n = 170) were boys. The CPPS (Child PTSD Symptom Scale) was administered. The results showed a better PTSD diagnostic valuation using alternative criteria for the different ages and sample groups. An exhaustive revision of current PTSD diagnostic criteria for childhood and adolescence stages seem necessary.Keywords: Evaluation; diagnosis; PTSD; childhood; adolescence. Resumen: El estudio tuvo por objetivo comparar criterios DSM-IV, DSM-5 y criterios alternativos de TEPT, en tres muestras independientes con la finalidad de analizar la idoneidad de estos. La muestra se configuró con 361 menores entre los 8 y 18 años (122 muestra comunitaria; 86 menores habían sufrido maltrato intrafamiliar crónico y 153 menores expuestos a violencia de género). De la totalidad de la muestra el 52.9% (n = 191) eran chicas y el 47.1% (n = 170) chicos. Se administró la escala CPSS (Child PTSD Symptom Scale). Los resultados evidenciaron una mejor valoración diagnóstica del TEPT utilizando los criterios alternativos en las diferentes edades y en los diferentes grupos muestrales. Parece necesario una revisión exhaustiva de los criterios diagnósticos TEPT actuales en la etapa de la infancia y la adolescencia. Palabras clave: Evaluación; diagnóstico; TEPT; infancia; adolescencia.

The current study addresses the need for accurate measurement of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in youth by investigating the psychometric properties of the Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS). The factor structure, reliability, and concurrent and discriminant validity of the CPSS were investigated in a sample of 206 6th- to 12th-grade adolescents. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis supported a single-factor structure, which was contrary to the hypothesized three-factor structure. Scores comprising this one-factor structure were also associated with high reliability (α = .93), and tests of concurrent and discriminant validity were also strong. The implications of these findings are discussed, with particular emphasis on future directions for research on self-report measures for adolescent PTSD symptoms.
