Sintesi	The LEC-5 is a 17-item self-report checklist assessing exposure to stressful life events that may result in PTSD or trauma-related mental health problems. Developed by Weathers and colleagues at the National Center for PTSD in 2013, the LEC-5 identifies which types of traumatic events a person has experienced, determining the presence of a qualifying trauma exposure according to DSM-5 Criterion A. The scale is widely used in PTSD research, clinical assessment, and disaster mental health screening.	The PC-PTSD-5 is a 5-item self-report screening instrument for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) aligned with DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. Developed by Prins and colleagues in 2015 as an update to the earlier 4-item PC-PTSD, the PC-PTSD-5 is designed specifically for rapid screening in primary care and other non-specialist medical settings. It is freely available, brief, and demonstrates strong sensitivity and specificity for identifying individuals warranting full PTSD diagnostic evaluation.
