AB  - The shift from a multiaxial system of diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical 
      Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) brought forth the 
      discontinuation of the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF). DSM-5 proposes the 
      use of a more reliable method for assessing and describing disability, the World 
      Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0). The WHODAS 
      2.0 is widely-used within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the 
      Veterans Benefits Administration to guide clinical decision making and assist in 
      decisions pertaining to financial compensation. While the WHODAS 2.0 purports to 
      be well-validated for adults cross-culturally in clinical and non-clinical 
      samples, research is limited pertaining to the factor structure of the WHODAS 2.0 
      in non-compensation seeking U.S. Veteran populations. This study evaluated the 
      factor structure of the WHODAS 2.0 in a sample of 464 Veterans receiving VA 
      mental healthcare. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of the WHODAS 2.0 
      data were conducted. Analyses confirmed the hardiness of the WHODAS 2.0 for use 
      with Veterans. However, exploratory analyses pointed to several items that may 
      reduce the functioning of the questionnaire in clinical Veteran samples. 
      Exploratory and confirmatory analyses indicated better model fit can be achieved.
