Family separation from military service and children's externalizing symptoms
Military separation is a well‐documented vulnerability point for service members, yet little is known regarding how children fare across this transition. The current study examined 909 military‐connected children from the Millennium Cohort Family Study (Wave 1 M age = 3.88 years, SD = .095) across a 3‐year period to explore whether separation predicted child externalizing symptoms over and above Wave 1 externalizing levels, by comparing separated…
Military Life Stressors, Family Communication and Satisfaction
Association of military life experiences and health indicators among military spouses
Findings suggest that enhanced social and military support and tailored programming for military spouses may improve health outcomes and contribute to the well-being of military couples. Such programming could also bolster force readiness and retention
Pain Intensity and Pain Interference in Male and Female Iraq/Afghanistan-era Veterans
Association of Childhood Trauma Exposure With Adult Psychiatric Disorders and Functional Outcomes
Importance: Being exposed to trauma is a common childhood experience associated with symptoms and impairments in childhood. Objective: To assess the association between cumulative childhood trauma exposure and adult psychiatric and functional outcomes. Design, Setting, and Participants: Prospective, population-based cohort study of 1420 participants. A community representative sample of participants was assessed with structured Child and Adolesce…
Brain Structural Covariance Network Topology in Remitted Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a prevalent, chronic disorder with high psychiatric morbidity; however, a substantial portion of affected individuals experience remission after onset. Alterations in brain network topology derived from cortical thickness correlations are associated with PTSD, but the effects of remitted symptoms on network topology remain essentially unexplored. In this cross-sectional study, US military veterans ( N = 317…
The National Child Traumatic Stress Network Core Data Set
Cumulative trauma exposure and high risk behavior in adolescence
Although links between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and problems in adulthood are wellestablished, less is known regarding links between exposure to trauma during childhood and adolescence and high-risk behavior in adolescence.We tested the hypothesis that cumulative exposure to up to 20 different types of trauma and bereavement/loss incrementally predicts high-risk adolescent behavior beyond demographic variables.Adolescents reporting ex…
Modeling constellations of trauma exposure in the National Child Traumatic Stress Network Core Data Set
This article describes the features and utility of the Trauma History Profile (THP) component of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) Core Data Set (CDS). The THP, which is derived from the Trauma History section of the University of California PTSD Reaction Index for DSM–IV ,i s a comprehensive tool to assist providers in identifying and characterizing a broad spectrum of 20 types of trauma experienced by children and adolescents.…
Links between child and adolescent trauma exposure and service use histories in a national clinic-referred sample
The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) is a federally funded child mental health service initiative designed to raise the standard of care and increase access to evidence-based services for traumatized children and their families across the United States. As part of the quality improvement goal, a Core Data Set (CDS) was established to standardize data collection and examine treatment outcomes across participating centers. This paper…
Trauma Exposure, Psychosocial Functioning, and Treatment Needs of Youth in Residential Care
Posttraumatic stress among students after the shootings at Virginia Tech
On April 16, 2007, in the worst campus shooting incident in U.S. history, 49 students and faculty at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) were shot, of whom 32 were killed. A cross-sectional survey of 4,639 Virginia Tech students was carried out the following summer/fall to assess PTSD symptoms using the Trauma Screening Questionnaire (TSQ). High levels of posttraumatic stress symptoms (probable PTSD) were experienc…
The prevalence of potentially traumatic events in childhood and adolescence
This paper examines exposure to potentially traumatic events from middle childhood through adolescence, and vulnerability to such exposure. Analyses are based on the first 4 annual waves of data from a longitudinal general population study of youth in western North Carolina, involving 4,965 interviews with 1,420 children and adolescents and their parents or guardians. Participants reported on DSM extreme stressors (“high magnitude events”), other…
Psychological Reactions to Terrorist Attacks
CONTEXT: The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, represent an unprecedented exposure to trauma in the United States. OBJECTIVES: To assess psychological symptom levels in the United States following the events of September 11 and to examine the association between postattack symptoms and a variety of indices of exposure to the events. DESIGN: Web-based epidemiological survey of a nationally representative cross-sectional sample using the Pos…
Measuring exposure to racism
This article describes the development and validation of the Race-Related Stressor Scale (RRSS), a questionnaire that assesses exposure to race-related stressors in the military and war zone. Validated on a sample of 300 Asian American Vietnam veterans, the RRSS has high internal consistency and adequate temporal stability. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that exposure to race-related stressors accounted for a significant proportion of …
The Effects of Stress on Job Functioning of Military Men and Women
This study examined the relationships between domains of stress (work-related, familyrelated, finances-related, health-related), coping style, substance use, and symptoms of depression with level of job functioning among women and men in the U.S. armed forces. Multivariate cumulative logistic regression analyses were conducted with data from the 1995 Department of Defense Survey of Health Related Behaviors among Military Personnel. Results showed…
Posttraumatic stress disorder in a national sample of female and male Vietnam veterans
Resilience-recovery factors in post-traumatic stress disorder among female and male Vietnam veterans
Structural equation modeling procedures were used to examine relationships among several war zone stressor dimensions, resilience-recovery factors, and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms in a national sample of 1,632 Vietnam veterans (26% women and 74% men).A 9-factor measurement model was specified on a mixedgender subsample of the data and then replicated on separate subsamples of female and male veterans.For both genders, the structural m…
