The War Event Questionnaire (WEQ) demonstrates fair to good inter-rater reliability for assessing war exposure in epidemiological studies. This tool effectively captures both objective and subjective war experiences, aiding mental health research.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Psychological Trauma Research

Background:

  • Measuring war exposure in large populations requires reliable and easy-to-use questionnaires.
  • The War Event Questionnaire (WEQ) was developed to meet these needs for epidemiological studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the inter-rater reliability of the War Event Questionnaire (WEQ).

Main Methods:

  • Two trained interviewers administered parts I and II of the WEQ.
  • Kappa statistics were used to assess agreement between raters.

Main Results:

  • Inter-rater reliability (Kappa) for part I ranged from 0.281 to 0.774.
  • Inter-rater reliability (Kappa) for part II ranged from 0.189 to 1.000.

Conclusions:

  • The WEQ is a useful and fairly reliable instrument for assessing war experiences.
  • The WEQ aids in avoiding tautological assessments of war's mental health effects.
