The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Interview for Vietnamese Refugees (PTSD-IVR) was created specifically to assess for the presence of current and lifetime history of premigration, migration, encampment, and postmigration traumas in Vietnamese refugees. The purpose of the present study was to describe the development of and investigate the interrater and test-retest reliability of the PTSD-IVR and its validity in relation to the diagnoses obtained from the Longitudinal, Expert, and All Data (LEAD; Spitzer, 1983) standard. Clinicians conducted the diagnosis process with 127 Vietnamese refugees using the LEAD standard and the PTSD-IVR. Assessment of the reliability and validity of the PTSD-IVR yielded good to excellent AUC (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; .86, .87) and κ values (.66, .74) indicating the reliability of the PTSD-IVR and the agreement between the LEAD procedure and the PTSD-IVR. The results of the present study suggest that the PTSD-IVR performs successfully as a diagnostic instrument specifically created for Vietnamese refugees in their native language.
越南难民创伤后应激障碍访谈（PTSD-IVR）是专门为评估越南难民当前和终身经历的前迁移、迁移、难民营和后迁移创伤而创建的。本研究的目的是描述 PTSD-IVR 的发展，并调查其在与从纵向、专家和所有数据（LEAD；Spitzer，1983）标准获得的诊断相关的评分者间信度和重测信度及其有效性。临床医生使用 LEAD 标准和 PTSD-IVR 对 127 名越南难民进行了诊断过程。对 PTSD-IVR 的可靠性和有效性的评估产生了良好到优秀的 AUC（接受者操作特征曲线下的面积；.86，.87）和 κ 值（.66，.74），表明 PTSD-IVR 的可靠性和 LEAD 程序与 PTSD-IVR 之间的一致性。本研究的结果表明，PTSD-IVR 作为一种专为母语为越南语的越南难民设计的诊断工具，表现出色。
