FIG. 1.

Overlap among posttraumatic stress disorder criteria sets. The left diagram represents all 7–12-year-old children and the right diagram represents all 13–18-year-old adolescents who were diagnosed using one or more criteria sets (n = 53 and n = 45, respectively). For 7–12-year-old children, 50.9% met criteria for PTSD by all three diagnostic algorithms, 1.9% met criteria by DSM-IV and very young children criteria but not DSM-5, 24.5% met criteria by DSM-5 and very young children criteria but not DSM-IV, and 22.6% met criteria only by very young children criteria. In contrast, for 13–18-year-old adolescents, 91.1% met criteria for PTSD by all three diagnostic algorithms. Venn diagrams were created using BioVenn (Hulsen et al. 2008). DSM-IV, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition; DSM-5, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition; PTSD, posttraumatic stress disorder.
