在1,000名成年人的样本中，研究了10种潜在创伤事件的频率和影响。从四个东南部城市抽取的样本是一半黑人，一半白色，一半男性，一半女性，平均分配在年轻人，中年人和老年人之间。在他们的一生中，69%的样本至少经历过其中一次事件，仅在过去一年就有21%。这10起事件的重要性各不相同，最常发生的是悲剧性死亡，性侵犯导致创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的发生率最高，而机动车碰撞则是频率和影响最不利的组合。在这些事件的流行病学中，观察到不同人口群体之间存在许多差异。白人和男性的终生接触量高于黑人和女性;年轻人的上年接触量最高。当影响作为一个连续变量（感知压力）进行分析时，黑人男性似乎最容易受到事件的影响，但年轻人的PTSD发生率最高。
The frequency and impact of 10 potentially traumatic events were examined in a sample of 1,000 adults. Drawn from four southeastern cities, the sample was half Black, half White, half male, half female, and evenly divided among younger, middle-aged, and older adults. Over their lifetimes, 69% of the sample experienced at least one of the events, as did 21% in the past year alone. The 10 events varied in importance, with tragic death occurring most often, sexual assault yielding the highest rate of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and motor vehicle crash presenting the most adverse combination of frequency and impact. Numerous differences were observed in the epidemiology of these events across demographic groups. Lifetime exposure was higher among Whites and men than among Blacks and women; past-year exposure was highest among younger adults. When impact was analyzed as a continuous variable (perceived stress), Black men appeared to be most vulnerable to the effects of events, but young people showed the highest rates of PTSD.
