This study examined the intensity of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms as measured by the Mississippi Scale, the Keane (PK), and the PTSD (PS) Scales of the MMPI-2 in a sample of 34 African-American and 34 White American Vietnam War Veterans who sought treatment in a Specialized Inpatient PTSD Unit. The scores of the two groups on the Beck Depression Inventory and the clinical scales of the MMPI-2 were also compared. The ethnoculturally different sample was matched on intensity of combat exposure, marital status, employment status, age, and education. No significant differences on the measures of PTSD symptoms were noted and no significant differences were found on the Beck scale or the MMPI-2 clinical scales.
