Stigma and Barriers in Health Care Among a Sample of Transgender and Gender-Diverse Active Duty Service Members
BACKGROUND: Transgender and/or gender-diverse (TGD) persons are vulnerable to stigma and health care inequities; however, data are particularly limited among TGD active duty military service members despite ongoing changes to service policies. TGD-related stressors may impede access to and utilization of health care due to fear of potential discrimination and distress, thereby adversely impacting military readiness. METHODS: We examined stigma an…

Traumatized relationships
Aggression Between Heterosexual Dating Partners
The authors used structural equation analyses of data obtained from a survey of 345 college undergraduates (232 women, 113 men) to test a predictive model of dating aggression based on the background-situational model proposed by Riggs and O'Leary (1989). Results offer initial support for the background-situational model. Among men and women, dating aggression was directly related to the individual's attitudes about dating aggression, history of …
Reliability and validity of a brief instrument for assessing post‐traumatic stress disorder
This study examines the psychometric properties of two versions of the PTSD Sympton Scale (PSS). The scale contains 17 items that diagnose PTSD according to DSM‐III‐R criteria and assess the severity of PTSD symptoms. An interview and self‐report version of the PSS were administered to a sample of 118 recent rape and non‐sexual assault victims. The results indicate that both versions of the PSS have satisfactory internal consistency, high test‐re…
A prospective examination of post‐traumatic stress disorder in rape victims
Post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related psychopathology were examined in 95 female rape victims beginning soon after the assault (mean = 12.64 days). Subjects were assessed weekly for 12 weeks. Ninety‐four percent of women met symptomatic criteria for PTSD at Assessment 1, decreasing to 65% at Assessment 4 (mean = 35 days postassault), and 47% at Assessment 12 (mean = 94 days postassault). PTSD and related psychopathology decreased shar…

Treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder in rape victims
Rape victims with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; N = 45) were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: stress inoculation training (SIT), prolonged exposure (PE), supportive counseling (SC), or wait-list control (WL). Treatments consisted of nine biweekly 90-min individual sessions conducted by a female therapist. Measures of PTSD symptoms, rape-related distress, general anxiety, and depression were administered at pretreatment, posttre…
