The present study attempts to establish the validity and reliability of the new PTSD Checklist for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (PCL-5). A group of 597 Malaysian adolescents (Mage 16.9, SD 1.30) completed the PCL-5, Harvard Trauma Questionnaire, and Patient Health Questionnaire for depression (PHQ-9).
