The Assessment Core has four main objectives that support proposed and future clinical trials and epidemiological studies: (1) to create uniformity of instrumentation and measurement and to employ state-of- the-art measures with sound psychometric properties; (2) to ensure measurement of outcome and predictor variables that are relevant and sensitive to the active duty military ethos and culture as well as Veterans' experiences; (3) to train and to provide oversight and supervision of Independent Evaluators (IEs), to adjudicate diagnostic decisions for clinical trials when necessary, to conduct inter-rater reliability evaluations of taped PTSD interviews, and to shape IEs over time to obviate drift; and (4) to work with the Data and Epidemiological Cores to create a data dictionary and to manage and leverage the omnibus multi-study dataset. Our team has specialized expertise in the assessment of war-trauma (Litz, 2007; Litz & Schlenger, 2009; Steenkamp et al., 2010; Stein et al., 2012) and has extensive experience measuring risk and resilience in the military over the life-course (Baker et al., 2012; Dickstein et al., 2010). The infrastructure created under STRONG STAR is well-equipped to effectively oversee the measurement and assessment needs for STRONG STAR-CAP. To date, we have selected outcome and predictor variables that are state-of-the-art and that provide content coverage across multiple domains while respecting Service Members' and Veterans time-and- effort constraints. We were especially mindful of the latter and chose briefer options whenever possible. Ronald Acierno at the Charleston VA Medical Center/Medical University South Carolina has organized an informal research Consortium consisting of approximately 10 non-NCPTSD investigators located at VAs throughout the US (see Table 5) who are committed to partnering with the Assessment Core and the STRONG STAR-CAP. All of the investigators have current VA, DoD, or NIH funding to support their PTSD research. A primary interest of this group is to help ensure that a set of Common Data Elements (Kaloupek et al., 2010) are collected across all DoD and VA STRONG STAR-CAP-affiliated studies (e.g., common psychological construct domains, biomarkers, etc.). They have titled their effort the Coalition of VA/DoD PTSD CAP Study Site Partners for Common Data Elements.

评估核心有四个主要目标，支持拟议的和未来的临床试验 流行病学研究：（1）建立仪器和测量的统一性并采用现状 具有良好心理测量特性的最先进的措施； (2) 确保结果和预测的测量 与现役军人精神和文化以及退伍军人相关且敏感的变量 经验； (3) 培训独立评估员（IE）并对其进行监督和监督， 必要时裁定临床试验的诊断决定，以进行评估者间的可靠性评估 录制 PTSD 访谈，并随着时间的推移塑造 IE 以避免漂移； (4) 处理数据和 流行病学核心用于创建数据字典并管理和利用综合多研究数据集。 我们的团队在战争创伤评估方面拥有专业知识（Litz，2007；Litz & Schlenger，2009； 斯廷坎普等人，2010； Stein 等人，2012），并且在衡量风险和弹性方面拥有丰富的经验 生命历程中的军事（Baker 等，2012；Dickstein 等，2010）。下创建的基础设施 STRONG STAR 有能力有效监督 STRONG 的测量和评估需求 星帽。迄今为止，我们已经选择了最先进的结果和预测变量 提供跨多个领域的内容覆盖，同时尊重服役人员和退伍军人的时间和- 努力的限制。我们特别注意后者，并尽可能选择更简短的选项。罗纳德 查尔斯顿退伍军人医疗中心/南卡罗来纳医科大学的 Acierno 组织了一次非正式的 研究联盟由分布在整个 VA 的大约 10 名非 NCPTSD 研究人员组成 美国（见表 5）致力于与评估核心和 STRONG STAR-CAP 合作。全部 的研究人员目前拥有 VA、DoD 或 NIH 资金来支持他们的 PTSD 研究。主要兴趣 该组的目的是帮助确保跨区域收集一组通用数据元素（Kaloupek 等，2010） 所有 DoD 和 VA STRONG STAR-CAP 附属研究（例如，常见的心理构建领域， 生物标志物等）。他们将其工作命名为 VA/DoD PTSD CAP 研究站点合作伙伴联盟 通用数据元素。
