The Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) version 3.0 assessed psychiatric disorders (Kessler & Ustun, 2004). The CIDI included a module on DSM-IV PTSD that inquired about lifetime exposure to each of 27 different TEs (criterion A1). Respondents who reported ever experiencing any of the TEs were then asked about the number of exposures (NOE) and age at first exposure (AOE) for each.
