An interviewees total severity score on the CAPS-5 represents the sum of the individual severity scores (0-4) for each of the 20 PTSD symptoms (CAPS-5 items 1-20 that have TR definite or probable). Total scores range from 0-80, with higher scores indicating more severe PTSD symptoms.
The CAPS-CA-5 is based upon DSM-5 criteria for PTSD for children and adolescents ages 7 and above. Because the criteria and diagnostic thresholds are different for the Pre-school Subtype, the CAPS-CA-5 is not intended for the evaluation of PTSD based on DSM-5 criteria for children ages 6 and younger.
How is the PCL-5 scored and interpreted? Respondents are asked to rate how bothered they have been by each of 20 items in the past month on a 5- point Likert scale ranging from 0-4. Items are summed to provide a total severity score (range = 0-80).
Symptom items are rated on a 5-point scale of frequency and severity ranging from 0 (Not at all) to 4 (6 or more times a week / severe). Symptoms are considered present when rated 1 or higher. The sum of the 20 PTSD symptoms items yield a total PTSD symptom severity score, ranging from 0-80.
CAPS-5 diagnosis demonstrated strong interrater reliability ( = . 78 to 1.00, depending on the scoring rule) and testretest reliability ( = . 83), as well as strong correspondence with a diagnosis based on the CAPS for DSMIV (CAPS-IV; = . 84 when optimally calibrated).

CAPS-5 total symptom severity score is calculated by summing severity scores for items 1-20. NOTE: Severity scores for the two dissociation items (29 and 30) should NOT be included in the calculation of the total CAPS-5 severity score.
