The PC-PTSD-5 questionnaire asks the below 5 questions, and data are reported categorically as the number of participants who responded "yes" to each of the 5 questions. An answer of "yes" is indicative of a PTSD symptom, which is a worse outcome. 1. In the past month, have you had nightmares about the events or thought about the events when you did not want to? 2. In the past month, have you tried hard not to think about the events or went out of your way to avoid situations that reminded you of the events? 3. In the past month, have you been constantly on guard, watchful, or easily startled? 4. In the past month, have you felt numb or detached from people, activities, or your surroundings? 5. In the past month, have you felt guilty or unable to stop blaming yourself or others for the events or any problems the events may have caused?

The PC-PTSD-5 questionnaire asks the below 5 questions, and data are reported categorically as the number of participants who responded "yes" to each of the 5 questions. An answer of "yes" is indicative of a PTSD symptom, which is a worse outcome. 1. In the past month, have you had nightmares about the events or thought about the events when you did not want to? 2. In the past month, have you tried hard not to think about the events or went out of your way to avoid situations that reminded you of the events? 3. In the past month, have you been constantly on guard, watchful, or easily startled? 4. In the past month, have you felt numb or detached from people, activities, or your surroundings? 5. In the past month, have you felt guilty or unable to stop blaming yourself or others for the events or any problems the events may have caused?
