TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Assessing the factor structure of models for posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms in a war-related civilian sample JO - Counseling outcome research and evaluation A1 - Acquaye, Hannah E. SP - 90 EP - 101 VL - 9 IS - 2 N2 - A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to assess the factor structure of the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL-5) in a non-Western sample (N = 444) of former refugees and internally displaced persons (317 men, 128 women) who had experienced a 10-year civil war in Liberia. The 7-factor hybrid model demonstrated superior fit to the sample when compared to internal structures represented by 4- and 6-factor models depicting posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms. Implications for counseling outcome research are provided.
