• Aim– To complement Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA)/Department of Defense (DOD) Clinical Practice Guideline by providing information to guide clinicians in assessment of functional impairment related to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
• Relevance– PTSD is associated with functional impairments
across many psychosocial domains and objective indicators of quality of life.

Results• Searched empirical literature on association
between PTSD and functional impairment. – Common methods and measures for assessing
functional impairment are reviewed.– New measures are introduced.
• Patient self-report and/or clinician rating should be supplemented with collateral data from friends, family members, coworkers, or supervisors for complete picture of current and premorbid functional status.

Conclusions–VA/DOD’s renewed focus on functional impairment
in assessment of stress-related disorders is encouraging. –Functional impairment may be outcome we are
most interested in ameliorating.• Thus, paying specific attention to its assessment is crucial.
