This study supported the validity of the ICD-11 construct of CPTSD in an asylum-seeker sample living in a low-income country. Moreover, the findings suggest that not only premigration factors (i.e., the early age of the first trauma) but also postmigration stressors (i.e., precarious reception conditions in large, isolated facilities) are important predictors of CPTSD symptoms with important implications regarding reception policies and the prevention of trauma-related mental disorders in asylum seekers and refugees.
