非西班牙裔黑人人口经历了与创伤相关的差异。创伤后应激的一个潜在的重要个体差异结构是焦虑敏感性。关于非西班牙裔黑人的焦虑敏感性的研究有限，而且还没有关于这一结构在这一人群中的创伤后应激障碍方面的研究。这项研究试图建立在这一有限知识的基础上，探索这种结构是否与这一人群中更严重的创伤后应激障碍有独特的联系。参与者包括非西班牙裔黑人创伤暴露的成年人(N=121；男性=21.79岁)。结果表明，焦虑敏感性与总体创伤后应激和创伤后应激症状群的严重程度有关；在调整了年龄、性别、教育程度、主观社会地位、神经质和经历过的创伤事件类型的数量(终生)的方差后，所有影响都是明显的。这项研究首次提供了经验证据，表明在创伤暴露的非西班牙裔黑人成年人样本中，焦虑敏感性与更严重的创伤后应激症状有关。这一个体内差异因素可能是针对创伤差异人群的干预规划的重点。
The non-Hispanic Black population experiences trauma-related disparities. One potentially important individual difference construct for posttraumatic stress is anxiety sensitivity. There is limited work on anxiety sensitivity among non-Hispanic Black persons, and no research has focused on this construct in terms of posttraumatic stress among this population. This study sought to build on this limited knowledge by exploring whether this construct was uniquely associated with more severe posttraumatic stress among this population. Participants included non-Hispanic Black trauma-exposed adults (N= 121; M age= 21.79 years). Results indicated that anxiety sensitivity was related to more severe overall posttraumatic stress and greater severity of each posttraumatic stress symptom cluster; all effects were evident after adjusting for the variance accounted for by age, sex, education, subjective social status, neuroticism, and number of traumatic event types experienced (lifetime). The study provides the first empirical evidence that, among a trauma-exposed non-Hispanic Black sample of adults, anxiety sensitivity is related to more severe posttraumatic stress symptoms. This intraindividual difference factor could be a focus of intervention programming for this trauma disparity population.
