目的：调查 16 至 22 岁青少年中创伤和创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 症状和诊断的患病率和相关性。方法：东南部纵向流行病学研究的第二周期包括一次半结构化访谈，评估 490 名青少年的 PTSD 症状。结果：大约 3% 的女性受试者和 1% 的男性受试者满足 DSM-IV 的 PTSD 标准。女性比男性报告更多的创伤事件，黑人受试者比白人受试者报告更多的事件。女性（比值比 = 12.32）、经历强奸或儿童性虐待（比值比 = 49.37）以及目睹事故或医疗紧急情况（比值比 = 85.02）与 PTSD 风险增加相关。结论：虽然符合 PTSD 标准的青少年相对较少，但大多数经历过创伤事件的受试者都报告了一些 PTSD 症状。特定类型的创伤事件与 PTSD 的发生相关。
Objective: To examine prevalence and correlates of trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and diagnosis in older adolescents aged 16 through 22 years. Method: The second cycle of a longitudinal epidemiological study in the Southeast included a semistructured interview assessing PTSD symptomatology administered to 490 adolescents. Results: Approximately 3% of female subjects and 1% of male subjects satisfied the DSM-IV criteria for PTSD. Females reported more traumatic events than males, and black subjects reported more events than white subjects. Being female (odds ratio = 12.32), experiencing rape or child sexual abuse (odds ratio = 49.37), and witnessing an accident or medical emergency (odds ratio = 85.02) were associated with increased risk of PTSD. Conclusions: While relatively few adolescents satisfy the criteria for PTSD, most subjects who experienced a traumatic event reported some PTSD symptoms. Specific types of traumatic events were associated with occurrence of PTSD.
