“…One surprising finding in this literature has been the consistent lack of clinically elevated scores on the scales relating to substance abuse (ALC and DRG), despite the fact that SUDs are highly comorbid with PTSD (Brady et al, 2000). This is true in civilian and veteran samples.…”

“…Studies suggest that 75% of individuals with PTSD meet criteria for at least one additional psychological disorder (Kessler et al, 2005). Depressive disorders, substance use disorders (SUDs), and anxiety disorders are the most commonly comorbid (Brady, Killeen, Brewerton, & Lucerini, 2000). One study of veterans with PTSD reported rates of 48.1% comorbidity with depression, 21.9% comorbidity with SUDs, 13.9% comorbidity with anxiety disorders, and 8.8% comorbidity with schizophrenia and bipolar disorders (Trivedi et al, 2015).…”

The Utility of the Personality Assessment Inventory in the Assessment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in OEF/OIF/OND Veterans

et al. 2017

We examined the use of the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) in a small sample of 47 U.S. military veterans of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Approximately half of the sample met criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based on the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale. PAI profiles were compared between the PTSD and non-PTSD groups. The PTSD group had clinically significant scores (≥ 70 T) on the PAI for 5 clinical scales (anxiety, anxiety-related disorders, depression, paranoia, and schizophrenia) and 10 clinical subscales consistent with the typical symptom picture for PTSD. Effect size correlations ( r) between scales and diagnosis group membership were large ( r ≥ .5) for several scales that reflect PTSD symptoms and for the PTSD LOGIT function. In a receiver operating characteristics curve analysis, the PTSD LOGIT function and the Traumatic Stress Subscale both demonstrated good diagnostic utility (areas under the curve > .80).
