Traumatic events and post‐traumatic stress disorder in the community: prevalence,risk factors and comorbidity
Abstract
Objective: Lifetime and 12‐month prevalence of traumatic events and DSM‐IV post‐traumatic stress disorder as well as risk factors and comorbidity patterns were investigated in a representative community sample (n=3021, aged 14–24 years). Method: Traumatic events and PTSD were assessed with the Munich Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI). Results: Although 26% of male subjects and 17.7% of female subjects reported at least one traumatic event, only a few qualified for a full PTSD diagnosis (1% of males and 2.2% of females). Traumatic events and PTSD were strongly associated with all other mental disorders examined. PTSD occurred as both a primary and a secondary disorder. Conclusion: The prevalence of PTSD in this young German sample is considerably lower than reported in previous studies. However, the conditional probability for PTSD after experiencing traumas, risk factors and comorbidity patterns are quite similar. Traumatic events and full PTSD may increase the risk for other disorders, and vice versa.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
