Summary:Highlights ► We examined the psychometrics of two PTSD symptom measures in a novel population. ► They included the PTSD Symptom Scale-Interview and the self-report PTSD Diagnostic Scale. ► Participants ( n = 167) with current PTSD and alcohol dependence completed the PSS-I and PDS. ► We found good internal consistency, test–retest reliability, and convergent validity.
