Background: Most people who experience a potentially traumatic event (PTE) recover on their own. A small group of individuals develops psychological complaints, but this is often not detected in time or guidance to care is suboptimal. To identify these individuals and encourage them to seek help, a web-based self-help test called Mobile Insight in Risk, Resilience, and Online Referral (MIRROR) was developed.

Background: Early identification of patients with mental health problems in need of highly specialised care could enhance the timely provision of appropriate care and improve the clinical and cost-effectiveness of treatment strategies. Recent research on the development and psychometric evaluation of diagnosis-specific decision-support algorithms suggested that the treatment allocation of patients to highly specialised mental healthcare settings may be guided by a core set of transdiagnostic patient factors.
Aims: To develop and psychometrically evaluate a transdiagnostic decision tool to facilitate the uniform assessment of highly specialised mental healthcare need in heterogeneous patient groups.
Article Synopsis
- In 2013, the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale was adapted to the DSM-5, creating the CAPS-5, and this project focused on developing a Dutch translation and examining its reliability and validity.
- A thorough translation process involved input from 44 Dutch psychotrauma experts and senior professionals, resulting in a final version tested with 669 trauma-exposed individuals.
- The Dutch CAPS-5 demonstrated high internal consistency and interrater reliability, with findings suggesting better fit for a six-factor model of PTSD over the standard four-factor DSM-5 model, highlighting the need for further research on these models' validity.
Background: For years there has been a tremendous gap in our understanding of the mental health effects of deployment and the efforts by military forces at trying to minimize or mitigate these. Many military forces have recently systematized the mental support that is provided to support operational deployments. However, the rationale for doing so and the consequential allocation of resources are felt to vary considerably across North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) International Security Assistance (ISAF) partners.
