The Assessment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Battered Women
Abstract
This study examined battered women's psychological symptoms using instruments developed to assess posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in other trauma victims. Women who had been in a physically violent relationship (n = 26) were assessed for PTSD using self-report measures and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R (SCID). Results indicated that 45% of those subjects interviewed met full DSM-III-R criteria for PTSD on the SCID, and that exposure to violence was significantly associated with PTSD symptomatology. When divided into high and low exposure groups based on degree of life threat, 60% of those in the high exposure group met criteria for diagnosable PTSD in contrast to a 14% rate in the low exposure group. These data suggest that battered women do experience symptoms of psychological trauma, and future cross-trauma research that includes this population, along with other previously identified trauma groups, would be beneficial.

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.
